Fenerbahce agree loan deal for Celtic target Douglas Luiz

Celtic have suffered a transfer blow after missing out on summer target Douglas Luiz.

The Herald reported earlier this week that Celtic were looking to take Luiz on loan from Manchester City with Brendan Rodgers keen to bolster the squad before Friday’s deadline.

The 20-year-old joined Manchester City last summer after impressing with Vasco da Gama where he scored five goals in 39 games. He is being touted as a star for the future.

The young midfielder was sent out on loan to Girona last season, a move that didn’t really work out for him.
