    CELTIC are set to take a major step towards winning the race to sign exciting French star Thomas Robert from Airdrie.

    As SunSport first revealed, the Hoops have been monitoring the son of former Newcastle star Laurent since early in the season.


    Rangers were keeping tabs on the talented 20-year-old, who opted to quit Montpellier’s youth system last year and moved to Scotland’s third tier.

    Several English clubs also sent scouts to watch the playmaker before Christmas, with League One shut down since early January due to Covid restrictions.

    But Robert, who has scored four goals in 14 appearances for the Diamonds, is set to train with Celtic ahead of a potential move in the summer.

    A deal for the star would represent the second piece of business done by the Parkhead men as they begin their rebuilding plans for the future.


    They’ve already snapped up Sheffield Wednesday defender Liam Shaw on a pre-contract with the 19-year-old tipped to have huge potential.

    Last summer Robert had the chance to join other academies in England but wanted to sample the rough and tumble of Scottish football and use it as a stepping stone.


    He’s also determined that he won’t live in the shadow his famous dad whose stunning free kicks and wing play made him a legend among Magpies fans

    Laurent was a key part of the Champions League days under Bobby Robson in the early noughties and was capped nine times by France


    Robert said in November: “I always wanted to come of the UK because I love the way football is played. It’s tougher.


    I also love this country because I lived here when I was little when my Dad played for Newcastle.

    My dad was very happy for me when I made the decision to come to Scotland and now I want to try to have a better career than he had.

    “I knew nothing about Airdrie before I came but I understand now and I’m enjoying being here.”

    The Diamonds are hoping to cash in with a transfer fee for a player who is under contract until the summer of 2022.

    It’s believed talks have taken place over training opportunities for Robert at Lennoxtown as the clubs edge closer to an agreement

    If he can provide the deadball expertize that his old man had... That Newcastle team that Bobby Robson had was a very good team... Alan Shearer, Craig Bellamy, Nobby Solano, Shay Given, Rob Lee, Kieran Dyer, Gary Speed, Shoela Ameobi etc.

    Would this be another Allen scenario. Huge difference between the lower league and playing for us.

    Different when we have a player who we know and is on a permanent contract and being sent out on loan for experience compared to someone who has nothing to do with us and we're looking to sign permanently.

    The whole situation about this boy seems strange. In the summer he had a number of teams chasing him and ended up at Airdrie which seems to be by choice. Now we are trying to sign him again.
