Ex-Huddersfield & Brighton midfielder to snub Birmingham, Norwich & others to make ‘dream’ Celtic move
and live on Freeview channel 276
Former Huddersfield Town and Brighton midfielder Aaron Mooy looks set to complete a permanent transfer to Scottish Premier League champions Celtic.
That’s according to the Daily Telegraph reporter Mike McGrath who states that talks between the 31-year-old and fellow countryman Ange Postecoglou have progressed well with a deal expected to be struck in the coming days.

Fellow high-profile journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the contract with the Hoops will run until the summer of 2023 with the SPL side having the option to extend it for a year further should they wish.
With Mooy opting for a move to Scotland over the Championship, this leaves Blues in the market for a midfielder this summer.
Young duo Jordan James and Jobe Bellingham have both recently signed deals committing their futures to Birmingham whilst George Hall continues to impress in pre-season.
In terms of experienced pros in that area, though, Blues remain short and will now have to look elsewhere to address the situation before the window closes on September 1.
