Celtic should complete the signing of Czech Republic Under-20 defender Milan Misun within the next 24 hours.
The 18-year-old left-back will arrive in Glasgow on Friday to finalise personal terms and have a medical.
Misun plays for FK Pribram in the Czech Republic's top division and was on trial with Celtic last week.
The defender has opted to sign for the Scottish Premier League champions despite interest from Italian Serie A club AC Milan.
Misun said earlier this week: "It is the best gift I could have got for Christmas.
"When I was at Celtic on trial for a couple of days, they treated me really well and I believe I can improve as a player there."

We have not received any feedback from Celtic yet

The Under-20 international's agent, Ondrej Chovanec, revealed that Celtic had faced competition for the teenager's signature.
"We are delighted as we have managed to get Milan to one of the biggest clubs in Europe," he said.
"There was also huge interest from AC Milan, but Celtic acted quickly and my player should be in Glasgow on Thursday to pen a professional deal."
Celtic have deployed Lee Naylor and Mark Wilson in the left-back position this season, but Wilson is a naturally right-footed defender.
Misun was joined at Celtic's Lennoxtown training centre by FK Pribram team-mate Anton Fantis, but Celtic have put a possible move for the 16-year-old on hold.
Meanwhile, Brann Bergen defender Erlend Hanstveit, who was also on trial with Celtic, has returned to Norway early for his wedding.
Hanstveit's father and agent, Per Bjarte, said: "We have not received any feedback from Celtic yet. We were concentrating on his wedding, but we expect an answer soon."
