Celtic FC are set to make a significant addition to their midfield after reportedly reaching personal terms with Scottish midfielder Andy Irving, currently contracted to West Ham United. The 25-year-old, who has impressed with his technical ability and vision during loan spells across Europe, has long been on Celtic’s radar as they look to bolster their options in the centre of the park.
Irving, a product of the Hearts academy, has matured into a dynamic midfielder capable of dictating play from deep, while also contributing with goals and set-piece deliveries. His adaptability and composure on the ball make him an attractive signing for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, who has been keen to add more depth and creativity ahead of a demanding season that includes both domestic and European competitions.
While personal terms are now agreed, the move hinges on final negotiations between Celtic and West Ham regarding the transfer fee. West Ham are open to a deal as the player seeks regular first-team football, something difficult to guarantee in the Premier League.
Should the transfer be finalized, Irving will return to Scotland with added experience and could play a pivotal role in Celtic’s pursuit of another league title and a strong European ca
