Celtic are set to sign the American full back Manny Perez in January.
The highly talented young defender had a trial with the Hoops and he has managed to impress the Scottish giants with his performances.
Rodgers is thought to be impressed with Perez and Celtic will complete the deal when the transfer window opens.
The 19 year old currently plays for North Carolina State University. He will have to secure a work permit before the move can be completed.
Perez is likely to be a part of Celtic’s youth squad.
