Celtic set to land South African international defender

Celtic are on the brink of completing the signing of Ajax Cape Town defender Rivaldo Coetzee, according to sources in South Africa.

Sport 24, a media outlet from Cape Town, are claiming that Coetzee will travel to Glasgow this week to complete his transfer to Celtic Park and that an announcement is imminent.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is believed to be a great admirer of the 20-year-old. The former Liverpool manager dropped a huge hint regarding Coetzee’s transfer when heckled by reporters.

“It’s really about the availability of a player,” he said.
