Celtic and West Ham still have one vital aspect of the Albian Ajeti transfer to finalise.
Until this morning it was assumed that the transfer was a season long loan with an option to buy but now it seems that Celtic want to make it a permanent move.
Anthony Joseph of Sky Sports News has tracked the move closely and Tweeted an update just after 7pm tonight.
Albian Ajeti has now completed his medical at Celtic.
An initial loan move with an option to buy for £5m has been agreed, but the Hoops are now trying to make it an immediate permanent transfer.
The terms and structure of a potential permanent deal are being discussed.

If the deal can be made permanent it suggests that the player is comfortable committing to Celtic after initially heading home to Switzerland then on holiday to Italy to think things over.
It seems that the intervention of Neil Lennon discussing a 3-5-2 formation with Ajeti playing alongside Odsonne Edouard has reassured the Swiss internationalist about a move to Glasgow.
Lennon has been keen to bring in another striker, with Vakoun Bayo joining Toulouse on loan and Leigh Griffiths unavailable Ajeti could be involved on Tuesday when Celtic face KR Reyjkavik in a Champions League qualifier.
