Wigan Atheltic and Celtic linked frontman Kyle Joseph has joined English Championship side Swansea City.
Reports back in March suggested that Scotland under 19 internationalist could be set to join the Hoops when his contract ran out in the summer.
There was also reported interest from other clubs down south like Newcastle United. However, this afternoon he completed his move to Swansea.

Last season Joseph made his breakthrough into the Wigan side in League One, making 20 appearances and scoring five goals.
His performances attracted interest from several clubs, and despite being offered a new deal to stay with Wigan, he has chosen to move on to the Welsh side.
Swansea came close this season to make the jump to the English Premier League but was pipped to that in the play-off final by Brentford.
Whilst it may look as though Celtic missed out on a possible transfer target, you would imagine there would be a lot of limbo as to whether he should be signed without any first-team manager in sight.
Now that we finally have one in place with Ange Postecoglou, hopefully, our transfer business can get underway as soon as possible.
