Brighton are about to sign Matt O’Riley from Celtic

TBR Football reports that Brighton is close to signing Celtic player Matt O’Riley.

The ‘phenomenal’ Dane is largely anticipated to leave the Hoops during this transfer window, and he has been connected with a number of clubs in recent months.

Brighton was one of them, and while the Seagulls are currently working on a number of transactions, acquiring O’Riley has become critical to the club.
