Martin Odegaard is on his way to Celtic for the 2015/16 season according to reports

Celtic may have just pulled off a piece of extraordinary business.

The Hoops have apparently signed Martin Odegaard, one of the most talented young prospects in European football, to a season-long loan deal according to reports in Italy. Tutto Mercato claim that the Real Madrid midfielder will be reunited with Ronny Deila who handed the 16-year-old his debut at Stromsgodset. Celtic have beaten out competition from La Liga sides Valencia, Getafe and Real Betis for the youngster's services for the 2015/16 season. Prior to signing for Real Madrid in January, the Norwegian was being courted by Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Liverpool after being touted as one of the superstars of the future. We think we know the most popular name that Celtic fans will be getting on the back of their jerseys this season.
