Scottish champions Celtic are close to completing a move for Manchester City defender Dedryck Boyata.

The 24-year-old Belgian defender, who travelled to Glasgow on the weekend, is expected to pen to paper on a three-year deal subject to a medical after rejecting the offer of a new contract at City in search of regular first-team football.

Boyata made only 11 Premier League appearances for City during his five-year stay at the club.
