Celtic is close to completing the loan signing of Landon Emenalo from Chelsea, pending the resolution of an injury issue. Emenalo picked up a knock in training, but it is not expected to derail the transfer. The club has already made four signings this summer and is looking to strengthen depth at left-back, a position that Kieran Tierney currently occupies. Liam Scales has been providing backup but is not a long-term solution. Emenalo's deal lacks an option to buy, as he is highly regarded by Chelsea's management.
