    Would be very odd if the 8m euros fee the Croatian press is reporting is actually correct. But they are saying it'll be announced tomorrow, which is supposedly why he didn't arrive for the Croatia U21 gathering today.

    Reading that Galatasary, Lyon, Bayern and Arsenal have all scouted this lad. Also somebody comparing him to Vidic.

    One Croatian source has claimed that an €8m deal has been agreed but the upfront figure is likely to be closer to €6m which would be the highest transfer fee paid by Celtic since Scott Brown arrived from Hibs in 2007.

    Negotiations are believed to be at advanced stage with Celtic confident of completing the deal tomorrow without any last minute transfer dramas.

    Simunovic has been a regular in the Dinamo defence over the last two seasons and has picked up four Croatian under-21 caps having been capped at every age group from u-16 upwards.

    With van Dijk about to head for England, Simunovic will form a new look central defensive partnership with Dedryck Boyata and is pencilled in to make his Celtic debut at Aberdeen a week on Saturday.

    With Tyler Blackett joining Saidy Janko and Boyata Deila is close to having a completely reshaped defence from the one that he inherited from Neil Lennon.

    Speaking yesterday about the loan deal for Blackett the Celtic boss said: “Tyler will bring quality. He’s a good player, a young player and has experience playing for Manchester United. He really wanted to come and play for Celtic and he’ll be a good signing.

    “He can play centre-back and left-back so we’ll see what his best position will be in September.”

    Celtic are also in talks with Inverness Caley Thistle to sign Ryan Christie.

    I've seen Zagreb fans saying things about him that we say about Efe, he must want * all wages if we're throwing that much money about. All very concerning.

    Seems to be genuine efforts done to tighten up our backline

    Unless they plan to upgrade the defence with the 20 million CL cash plus his sale...?

    Why has this talk from Zagreb fans about him being * only coming up now when it looks likely we'll sign him? Maybe they just have a "oh well he was * anyway" attitude like some people on here constantly point out about how van Dijk isn't that good.

    Looked it up there and he's played 6 of their 8 league matches this season and every minute of their CL qualifying campaign, must not be that * if he's one of their main centrebacks at just 21.
