That was after we first told you he was on Brendan Rodgers’ radar as he looks to bolster his attacking options this summer.
And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed on Saturday the length of deal that is expected to take him to Celtic Park.
He’s reporting the 23-year-old has penned a four-year contract at the club, with the option of extending his stay in Glasgow to 2030.
It means the Scottish champions have staved off competition from the likes of Anderlecht and Copenhagen to land the attacker’s signature.
