Celtic will be securing one of the hottest prospects in Europe if they complete a deal to land Sead Haksabanovic, according to his Rubin Kazan boss Leonid Slutsky.
The Premiership champions appear on the brink of signing the Montenegro international for a cut-price fee from Russian club Rubin Kazan after his club reluctantly accepted they would have to sell him. Haksabanovic was previously at West Ham when a youngster, but never fulfilled his initial potential and ended up in Russia after impressing at IFK Norrkoping. And former Russia, Hull City, CSKA Moscow and Vitesse Arnhem manager Slutsky still believes the 23-year-old will go right to the top, after admitting his pending Celtic departure will be a major blow for his club.
He said: "Sead is a very strong player and has all the attributes required to be one of the top attacking midfielders in European football. He's strong, very quick and has an excellent intelligence when it comes to his football brain. What I like about him is his versatility.
