Celtic have agreed a deal worth up to £9.5 million for Norwich City striker Adam Idah.
It is understood the initial fee will be £8.5m, with £1m worth of add ons, with Idah keen on a return to Celtic and ready to agree terms on a long-term contract.
Norwich have also inserted a 15 per cent sell-on clause into the deal.
The Scottish Premiership champions had an initial bid of £4m rejected in July, but a new improved offer, believed to be in excess of £6m plus add-ons, resulted last week in the two clubs resuming negotiations.
