Celtic are closing on a deal for Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe.

The Daily Express says Ibe could still be set for a move to Celtic despite his manager Eddie Howe insisting his future was on the south coast.

The Hoops are attempting to seal a loan move for the forward before the Scottish transfer window closes on September 2.

Howe had originally said the 23-year-old was going nowhere, saying he is “an integral part of our squad."

However, Ibe has yet to feature for the Cherries this season and Bournemouth could yet be tempted to cut their losses on the player, who has struggled to make an impression since his move from Liverpool.
