Celtic are edging closer to landing highly-rated Welsh midfielder Joe Ledley. The Cardiff City ace has visited the club’s Lennoxtown training complex and is in talks over a Bosman move, according to reports.

Ledley, valued at around £5 million, has been attracting the attention of several clubs in the English Premier League, with Celtic’s Glasgow rivals Rangers also having been linked with the player.

Cardiff failed to make the top flight after losing to Blackpool in the play-off final but have offered the out-of-contract midfielder a new deal. However, Ledley is said to have been ready to move clubs for quite some time and was criticised by chief executive Peter Ridsdale earlier in the season for “playing like his mind was already somewhere else”.
