Lennon: Nouioui will be in Glasgow tonight
The 26-year-old is a free agent after scoring 14 goals in 23 starts plus 10 substitute appearances as Deportivo de la Coruna won promotion back to La Liga.
With Anthony Stokes out injured until the end of October Neil Lennon is anxious to get back up for Gary Hooper after Mo Bangura, Morten Rasmussen and Daryl Murphy left the club.
Lennon doesn’t want to put too much pressure on teenager Tony Watt with Getafe striker Miku signing a season long loan deal on the final day of the transfer window.
Asked about an update on the situation with Nouioui the Celtic boss said: “I know there is talk of him going to Levante but I have had clarification from his advisors that he will be in Glasgow this evening.
“We have agreed terms and the paperwork is done so we just need him in to do his medical.
“He will do a couple of days’ fitness work because he obviously hasn’t had a club since the end of the season and we just need to gauge his physical condition and take it from there.
“He is six foot two, he leads the line very well, he can play inside or outside the box and he can head it very well.
“We have liked him for a wee while. I know most of his goals have come in the Second Division in Spain but it is still a good standard and he has played for Deportivo in the last couple of seasons. He will bring another dimension to the team.”
