Joseph Yobo could be on his way to Celtic on a one-year loan deal, sources close to the player have told us.
The Nigerian international has been frozen out of the Everton starting team since his return from the African Cup of Nations in February, and is keen to rack up playing minutes.
"A number of clubs have indicated their interest in having him, and Everton have no objections," a source close to the player told us.
"But the firm interest has come from Scotland and discussions are taking place."
Celtic are believed to be in the forefront of discussions and a deal is expected to be sealed within days.
