Celtic trump Stoke City for Ledley

Celtic have won the race for off contract Cardiff City midfielder Joe Ledley.

The Scottish Sun says Celtic last night dramatically won the race to land Welsh ace Ledley in a bumper £1.25million-a-year deal.

Ledley snubbed Roma and a string of Premiership giants to become the biggest signing of Neil Lennon's Parkhead reign.

The out-of-contract midfield ace flew into Glasgow for the THIRD time yesterday afternoon to agree personal terms.

He will undergo a medical this morning and will join the Hoops on their North American tour next week.

Ledley, 23, had been on the brink of penning a four-year deal with Stoke City before a last-gasp change of heart.

New Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson was also keen on the Wales cap, as were Blackburn and West Brom.
