Transfer News

Van Dijk seals Celtic move.

Celtic have completed the transfer of centre-back Virgil van Dijk from Dutch club FC Groningen.
The Holland U21 international, who arrived in Glasgow on Thursday for a medical, has agreed a four-year contract with the Hoops.
Van Dijk is Celtic's second signing this month, with striker Amido Balde also arriving from Portuguese club Vitoria Guimaraes.
A statement from Celtic read: "Celtic are delighted to announce that defender Virgil van Dijk has joined the club from FC Groningen.
"The Dutch Under-21 international has signed a four-year deal with the Scottish Champions, and he becomes the latest player to join Neil Lennon's squad during the close season following the arrival of striker Amido Balde from Portuguese side, Vitoria Guimaraes.
"Virgil van Dijk will be officially unveiled at Celtic Park this afternoon at 2.45pm."

Interest in Wanyama mounts.

Southampton and Cardiff City are ready to compete for the signature of Celtic star Victor Wanyama.
Sources in Scotland claim Celtic are ready to do business on the Kenyan midfielder - but they want in excess of £10million for the 21-year-old.
Celtic signed Wanyama from Belgian signed Beerschot in 2011 for £900,000 - a story broken by Sky Sports.
But after two highly successful years at Celtic Park, interest is high in Wanyama.
Sources have now confirmed to Sky Sports that Southampton and Cardiff - both with substantial transfer budgets - are willing to test Celtic's resolve, whilst Turkish giants Galatasaray also have an active interest.
Stoke, Newcastle and Liverpool are also reported to be monitoring the situation.
