Celtic are close to completing a loan deal for 19-year-old Manchester City centre-half Jahmai Simpson-Pusey.
It is understood the move will not contain either an option or obligation to make the transfer permanent.
Numerous clubs have targeted Simpson-Pusey this summer.
The England Under-18 international skippered City to victory in the 2024 FA Youth Cup final and was brought into the first-team fold by manager Pep Guardiola last season when injuries decimated his senior ranks.
He made six senior appearances last term, starting in both the Premier League and Champions League.
However, he was not involved at first-team level from January and ended the campaign leading City to a Premier League 2 play-off final victory over Southampton.
Celtic have been approached for comment.
