Celtic nearing loan signing of Landon Emenalo from Chelsea

Summary

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.
