Thread: Fortune in Glasgow for Celtic talks

Fortune in Glasgow for Celtic talks, Nancy director confirms

Marc-Antoine Fortune looks set to be Celtic boss Tony Mowbray's first signing after the player's club confirmed he is in Glasgow for talks.

Celtic appear to be close to securing the signature of Marc-Antoine Fortune after a director at the player’s club AS Nancy confirmed he is in Glasgow for signing talks.

Although no deal has been finalised, the Parkhead club are believed to have settled a £3.8million fee with the French club, with the player looking increasingly likely to be new boss Tony Mowbray’s first signing.

A statement on the Nancy's website reads: "In contact with several British clubs, Marc-Antoine Fortune is currently in Glasgow to visit Celtic."

However the club's Director General, Nicolas Holveck, added: “No decision has yet been taken."

Fortune played for Mowbray during a loan-spell for West Brom last season, scoring five goals in 17 league appearances.

Despite reported interest from English Premiership clubs including Hull and Portsmouth, Celtic appear to be in pole position to get their man.

According to his agent Michael Maneullo, the French striker should make an announcement on his decision by tomorrow.

Meanwhile Holveck also said that Mowbray is interested in signing Landry N'Guemo.

Took the liberty of adding a poll here mate, just to save me making a whole 'nother thread

Very happy about this, he's what we need for mcdonald.

undecided.. i hve only seen him play once on sky sports .. tbh he was pure pish tho

Havnt seen much of him.

Aye that's what Nancy are claiming.

He will take the absolute piss out the SPL, and hopefully carry the confidence from that into Europe.

I honestly think he'll rip the cunt out of the spl with his pace combined with strength even if he has shite finishing he'll make enough chances to score a ton.

I'll stick my neck out here and say he'll score between 20-25 goals next season if we get him!!!!

I'm with you on that one.

I don't know about this buy because i never seen him play. but if Mowbry thinks he's good enough then he has my full support. He better get stuck into the huns or he'll be gettin a letter from me lol

I think this really shows the confidence people have in Mogga

Back when it was strachan we didn't give a fuck if strachan thought he was good enough as this was barely ever the case, now if Mogga thinks he's good enough we trust his judgement.

undecided he has the potential to be a good one but he also could flop
