Well, well, well!
No more transfer business? Ange you sly so and so.
And out of left field he pulls out Matt O’Riley.
The 21 year old from MK Dons is heading to Glasgow for a medical after a surprising announcement a little over two hours ago.
O’Riley is capped at u18 level for England and is a central midfielder.
With over 118 overall appearances, fifteen goals and eighteen assists the central midfielder will become Ange Postecoglou’s fifth signing of the winter window.
But who is O’Riley and what kind of player is he?
Journalist, Sam Rourke, the founder of Football League World was glowing in his praise for the young Englishman as he said:
Celtic signing Matt O'Riley for just £1.5m is a complete and utter steal. He's a star.#Celtic #MKDons

And on top of that Rourke went on to quantify this by describing just what kind of player Celtic are buying, “Elegant central attacking midfielder who is comfortable with both feet.
“7 goals, 5 assists in L1 so far. Strong dribbling ability with a real eye for a killer pass.
“Not afraid to shoot from distance too.”
No doubt, this move will start more transfer speculation as Ange has now dipped into the market and you can be sure that the speculation will be rife from now until the end of January.
