Neil Lennon has shed some light on the hold up in the Ismaila Soro deal.
The player was expected at the club over the weekend but has yet to make the trip to Glasgow. A medical in Israel has now been done and the Celtic manager is putting the delay down to paperwork.
?️ NL on Ismaila Soro: “The paperwork on Sorro is still ongoing. He’s doing his medical at the minute, takes a day or two. Hopefully we can get him over here and get him cracking.”

Soro plays in Israel but he’s originally from the Ivory Coast and will need to get a work permit to sign on the dotted line.
The 21-year-old defensive midfielder seems eager to get his Celtic career underway but he’s having to wait just a little bit longer. Once the paperwork has been sorted, Celtic should announce the player very quickly.
The midfielder would become the second signing of the window for Celtic. Will there be any more before the window closes in ten days? Lennon is looking for some more players but whether we get any or not is a different kettle of fish.
