Celtic: Stefan Scepovic agrees deal after Sporting Gijon accept fee
- Published
Stefan Scepovic has been capped eight times for Serbia
Celtic have agreed to sign Serbia striker Stefan Scepovic from Spanish second tier club Sporting Gijon.
The 24-year-old, who has agreed a four-year deal, will join the Scottish champions subject to a successful medical and work permit being granted.
Celtic will pay around 拢2.3m for Scepovic, while Gijon will have a sell-on clause in the contract.
"He is of course a different player than what we have," said Celtic manager Ronny Deila.
"More of a target player, more of a box player than the other strikers we have."
Scepovic, capped eight times, signed a three-year deal with Sporting in July 2013 and scored 22 goals last season.
His former clubs include Beograd, Partizan Belgrade, Club Brugge and a loan spell with Sampdoria.
Earlier this week, Celtic signed Ghana winger Wakaso Mubarak on a season-long loan from Russian club Rubin Kazan.
