    Celtic are poised to tie up a one-year loan deal for Republic of Ireland central defender Shane Duffy.

    Speaking after Sunday's 3-0 win over Motherwell, manager Neil Lennon promised new signings during the international break.


    Sportsmail first revealed Celtic's interest in the no-nonsense defender on August 13.



    And despite interest from West Ham and West Brom, talks with Brighton were last night edging towards a successful conclusion after the 28-year-old expressed the wish to move to Glasgow.

    Despite Brighton seeking a £2million loan fee and a large chunk of his wages, a deal could be finalised by the middle of this week.

    New £3.25million midfielder David Turnbulll was an unused substitute against his old club yesteday as Lennon admitted further signings are in the pipeline despite last week's Champions League exit to Ferencvaros.

    'I think so, yeah,' said the Celtic boss. 'I don't know how many but hopefully there will be one or two new faces coming in.'

    Aye I can see him being a leader type back there and captain material..

    Was talking to my cousin about no having someone that striker's fear in challenges. This should be a game changer in that respect as he's a big unit who takes no prisoner's....like Bobo used to..

    No saying he's as good but player's were scared to go in to challenges with him and basically ran away from them. No striker's do that with our current pair..

    I expect Duffy to be the man who goes and stands on any physical striker in the league and beast's them..

    He seeks it, whereas Ajer and Jullien don't like it..

    Excited..

    Anyone not too familiar with Duffy or worried because he can’t get a game for Brighton (even though he started half their games last year).. he’s out of the team at Brighton because Potter didn’t fancy him in possession. But he’s decent in possession.. I was always very surprised Potter didn’t fancy him in his first 11.

    He’s been nothing short of * sensational for Ireland. Colossus is the word that comes to mind. This is an absolute coup if we get it over the line. He’ll make an instant impact and hopefully Ajer and Jullien can learn a thing or two about what it means to be an imposing centre half.

    Jullien and Duffy attacking corners * me..

    I just got a fuzzy feeling thinking of him and Jullien going up for corners....and then I remembered Christie will be putting them out for throw ins..

    Seriously though, top signing and massively needed. Lot of big game experience at a high level and he's been well coveted by the lower half EPL side's and has seemingly been adamant that he was only coming here. Which is massive and the types we want in the door after the last few day's..

    On the one hand, he is exactly what we need in the back.

    On the other, all this wait for a loan deal is slightly dissappointing.

    Will be a bit disappointed if there’s no option or anything to make it permanent

    Business has been good.

    Hopefully we can sort a permanent deal at some point.

    I don't think the fact that it's a loan really matters right now, it's about shoring up the defence.

    He looks like he's kicked his heels to come here in this window so we may be able to do a deal further down the line..

    As @The Prof says, we needed someone in at any cost right now to help solidify that defence and I yhjnk he helps to do that..

    As @JC Anton mentions as well. We've made some really good signings this summer......just a pity it wasn't before our game midweek but Mo. Barkas. Ajeti. Turnbull. Duffy and counting is really making a statement and some dosh being spent..
