Celtic are set to miss out on midfielder Vinicius Souza with a decision made over his future, according to a report.
Ange Postecoglou was keen to add the Brazilian to his ranks but the Lommel star now appears to be on his way to La Liga with Espanyol with the midfielder reported to already be in Spain ahead of completing a deal, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. It's been claimed as many as 20 clubs wanted to snap up the 23-year-old this summer.
Ajax, Fenerbahce, Real Betis, Galatasaray and Schalke are just a handful of those mentioned to have held a transfer interest, but it is Espanyol who appear to have won the race. The Hoops have lost Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic from the midfield area and were keen on Souza filling that void but he did have doubts over a switch to the Scottish Premiership despite guaranteed Champions League group stage football heading for Parkhead.
