Chelsea striker Shim Mheuka is set to complete a season-long loan move to Celtic.

The 18-year-old will soon travel to Scotland after undergoing a medical ahead of what would be his first senior loan spell.

As first reported by BBC Sport, Mheuka has also signed a new contract until 2033, committing his future to the club as he continues his development.

He attracted interest from at least a dozen clubs this summer, including sides from Europe's top five leagues, Scotland, the Netherlands and the Championship.

However, a move to Celtic Park was ultimately chosen after careful deliberation by Mheuka and Chelsea officials.
