Celtic are edging towards completing a deal to sign Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Christopher Scott, according to reports.
The Germany Under 20 international could be sold for as little as £250,000 this summer and most supporters on Twitter believe it is worth taking a punt on the player:
Class this sounds like a great deal! Where does he play again?

Scott is thought to be keen on leaving Bayern in order to get first-team football, and it seems the Hoops have been keeping tabs on him for while, going by the links to the player in the German press which go back a few months.
The 19-year-old’s current deal is actually set to expire at the end of June, but Bayern are looking to extend his contract before allowing him to leave for a minimal fee.
It is believed that they may be looking for a large future sell-on clause but, considering he will be available so cheaply, Celtic are likely to have no problem with such an arrangement. With the price being so low, signing Scott is very low risk and doesn’t come with many downsides. We shall see if a transfer is agreed in the coming days.
