    Rumours said it will be announced on the 30th June. Speculative on social media. Don't know how true or untrue it is.

    Not sure if reported before, but Roberts was called up to the England U21 squad pre Euro 2017s. 28 players will be honed into a team of 23 for the championships in Poland (16-30 June). That would be a great team for him to make, considering who is in it. Don't think any of the players at the U20 World Cup will be eligible, since team deadline is 6 June, and England may still be in that tournament then.

    Bears watching, especially considering the above signing rumors.

    Not a chance he's already signed IMO. Pure fantasy.

    Maybe Roberts will look at who we bring in/keep, before he considers signing.

    Why the 30th of June? To do with that tournament?

    Can't see it.

    Celtic are closing in on a deal for Patrick Roberts.

    Talks are thought to be at an advanced stage with Manchester City with the young striker who proved such a hit during the Bhoys’ record-breaking unbeaten season.

    But the sticking point is the price, with Celtic prepared to pay £5m for the England U20 starlet.

    City paid £12m to land the 20 year old from Fulham in 2015, and after an impressive season at Celtic Park, boss Pep Guaridola is still a fan… and so would hope to recoup much of that fee.

    City though, are keen to offload as many as 12 players this summer, and if Celtic can get closer to the money City paid two years ago, then they will complete a deal.

    And that would be great news for the club’s fans who took to the young English forward during the treble season.

    Boss Brendan Rodgers is determined to push through an agreement, and is hoping to wrap up the transfer using money Celtic will receive from a sell on clause inserted when they sold Virgil van Dijk to Southampton.

    The defender is thought to be on the verge of a move to City for around £60m, and that would see the Hoops bank up to £10m for the defender... which is likely to be the price the Manchester club will ask for their striker.

    We all know he's worth more than 5 million, City aren't stupid.

    We'd recoup that if he doesn't even kick his own *.

    There were rumours about him being signed but not being announced until 30th june so maybe something in this after all.

    It really does seem to be on whether Virgil goes to City. Makes our transfer that much easier with Paddy..

    The papers will be guessing at the fee involved, there is a chance our initial bid is around £5m..

    Man City and us seem to have a good relationship hopefully we use that to every single possible way to our advantage.

    He has to be top priority. Make it happen Celtic.
