Celtic are closing in on a deal with Sheffield United for Auston Trusty but a final agreement is still being worked upon, according to Sky Sports News.
The Scottish champions are focused on bringing in a centre-back following the departures of Yuki Kobayashi and Gustaf Lagerbielke.
Trusty has emerged as a target and Celtic are pushing hard to take the Championship defender to Parkhead.
Sheffield United rejected their initial offer of £5m but Celtic refused to walk away from the deal and continued to hold talks with the Blades.
It has been claimed that the two clubs are now close to reaching an agreement over a fee.
