"We have received an offer. We responded to Celtic last night and we are waiting to hear again from them. They are not far away [in terms of the transfer fee]," Fram chairman Sverrir Einarsson told STV.

"I think we are hoping it will happen. It would good for him, Celtic would be a very good club for him.

"He was satisfied himself with the club and he was very happy to be there [when on trial].

"He has potential. He is a special type of player. He is a very good guy and he has his family behind him.

"I would be disappointed if he didn't go all the way in the game. I believe that he will."
