Egypt winger Haissem Hassan appears poised for a move to Scottish champions Celtic, with reports indicating he is set for a medical in Glasgow. Celtic has reportedly agreed an initial transfer fee of £6m with Real Oviedo, which could increase to £9m.
The 24-year-old made a significant impact at this summer's World Cup, playing 126 minutes for Egypt. He delivered a standout performance against Argentina in the last-16 match, setting up a goal to help put Egypt 2-0 up.
This potential signing would mark Celtic's third new recruit this summer, ahead of their Champions League play-off against LASK. Manager Martin O'Neill has expressed a desire for quality additions to the squad.
Hassan, a left-footed player often deployed on the right flank, started his club career at Chateauroux before moving to Villarreal in 2020. He then had loan spells at Mirandes and Sporting Gijon before joining Oviedo in 2024, helping them achieve promotion in his first season.
