Celtic close in on swoop for Scotland star James McFadden
Oct 13 2011 Exclusive by Mark Guidi
CELTIC are closing in on a stunning swoop for James McFadden.
Record Sport can reveal the Scotland star and his representatives have held talks with Parkhead powerbrokers in the past 48 hours.
It's understood all parties are happy with the way negotiations are progressing and a highly lucrative deal could be tied up today for the 28-year-old striker.
McFadden has been out of football since the summer when his contract expired at Birmingham City. They didn't renew his deal after he injured his cruciate ligament last season.
But he has now fully recovered and has received offers from Everton, Wolves and West Ham.
However, he does favour a move back to Scotland and the chance to play for his boyhood heroes suits him perfectly.
Hoops gaffer Neil Lennon is desperate to land Faddy to boost his squad as they bid to try and catch up on Rangers' 10-point lead at the top of the table.
If the McFadden deal is clinched today, it will be the ideal gift for the frustrated Celtic supporters as they head along to Parkhead tomorrow for the club's AGM.
Wäre einfach überragend m.Mn. - hoffentlich klappt des !!!!!
