If you have been following the latest developments of the Christopher Jullien transfer you will have known the player flew into Scotland last night to finalise a deal to become Celtic’s first signing of the summer.
Today the club has confirmed the 26-year-old has signed a FOUR-YEAR DEAL with the Scottish Champions and he will shortly leave Glasgow to head out to Celtic’s training camp in Austria.

“We are absolutely delighted to bring Christopher to Celtic. He is a quality player with great attributes and we are very much looking forward to him joining the squad and working with him.” Lennon said.
