Osaze Urhoghide 'set' for Celtic transfer exit as summer signing jets out for loan move

Celtic misfit Osaze Urhoghide is reportedly on the verge of sealing a loan move to Belgian side KV Oostende.

The 21-year-old moved to Parkhead in the summer after leaving Sheffield Wednesday but has found game time hard to come by under Ange Postecoglou.

The defender's sole appearance came in a dead rubber Europa League tie against Real Betis, and it's been reported he has struggled in training.

Verona were linked with a move for him in January but it appears Serie A will not be Urhoghide's next destination.

According to the Scotsman the centre-back has flown out to Belgium to seal a loan move to Oostende before Monday's transfer deadline.

There is not expected to be an option to buy included in the deal, with Celtic keen to monitor the youngster's development.

The Premiership title challengers previously loaned Jack Hendry to Oostende with a buyout clause included.

When the Scotland international was signed permanently it took the Pro League outfit just two months to flip him to Club Brugge for a massive profit.

Urhoghide has three-and-a-half years remaining on his Celtic contract.
