An Irish teenager has landed a dream move to Celtic.
Francis Turley put pen to paper on his three-year deal with the Glasgow giants.
The highly touted midfielder was on the radar for a number of top clubs but opted on a move to Celtic.
Celtic announced the deal for the former Glentoran midfielder on Friday, alongside former West Ham United youngster Justin Osagie.
The Hoops said: "Celtic have today completed the signings of Justin Osagie and Francis Turley, with both players joining the club on three-year contracts.
"Seventeen-year-old Justin, who had previously been a youth with West Ham United, will go into the B team squad, while 16-year-old Francis, whose previous club was Glentoran, will play with the Under-18s.
"Everyone welcomes Justin and Francis to the club and wishes them all the best for the future."
Turley - a creative midfielder with an eye for a pass - has represented Northern Ireland at Under 17 level and featured in last season's Victory Shield. He is a product of the Irish FA JD Academy run by Andy Waterworth.
