Henry Onyekuru seems very confident that he is on his way to Celtic.

According to the Own Goal Nigeria website talks are at an advanced stage to bring the KAS Eupen striker to Glasgow.

While Onyekuru fits the profile of a Celtic signing, with Rodgers recently highlighting the qualities of African players, it’s highly unusual for Celtic signings to discuss their move in advance.

On the playing side the 19-year-old certainly fits the bill with 10 goals in 21 appearances for newly promoted KAS Eupen.

The Belgian league provided Celtic with Victor Wanyama in 2011 and is generally accepted as a good quality league for emerging talents.

Immigration rules seems to make Belgium attractive to African players with the clubs benefiting from a strong mix of imported players.

Celtic are likely to be well aware of Onyekuru, and all top division players in Belgium, but how far down the line a transfer may be is still to be determined.
