Celtic sign Fulham youngster Callum Osmand

Celtic have signed teenage striker Callum Osmand from Fulham.

The 19-year-old has agreed a four-year deal with Scottish champions.

He becomes Brendan Rodgers' fourth summer addition.

Osmand scored 10 goals in 17 Premier League 2 games last season but has not made a first-team appearance.

Rodgers told the club's website: “We are really pleased to bring Callum to Celtic. He is a highly-rated, talented young player.

“He has some real attributes. He’s a quick and powerful striker and I’m really looking forward to working with him. I’m sure he can be really successful with us.”

Osmand added: “It feels unbelievable to be here and I am so happy to be here. It is a big step for me, and I am excited to get going.

"It’s a massive move and I can’t wait to step out at Celtic Park in front of all the fans.

“When I spoke to the manager, he was really positive. The plan and pathway he has set out for the club is top, so it’s exciting with the pathway he has for me.

“He has set out what he wants from me, and it is all really positive, so I can’t wait to get going now.

“I’ve also spoken to Matt O’Riley on the phone, so he has given me advice. He was telling me about how big the club is, how amazing the fans are and it’s a new life really. So excited is definitely the word for me.”
