Out of contract Celtic full-back Dede 'agrees transfer to Championship club'

Celtic starlet Josh Dede is reportedly set to leave the club.

According to reports, the Scotland youth internationalist is expected to leave Celtic with his contract up in the summer.

The Daily Record states Dede is primed to join English Championship side Middlesbrough. 

Dede, 19, has been a regular player for the Celtic B side and has also trained with the first-team.

He was involved in pre-season friendlies in the summer but has not broken into Brendan Rodgers' matchday squad. 

Now, he is set to depart Celtic "in the coming days" to head down south.

Middlesbrough are through to have agreed a deal to see Dede join their youth set-up.

Dede has played 27 times for Celtic youth sides this season - in the Lowland League and in the UEFA Youth League.

He has played four times for the Scotland under-19 side both at right-back and in a more advanced right-wing position.

Most recently, Dede turned out for Celtic B in a 3-2 defeat to Cumbernauld Colts on January 25 with the match potentially being his last before a move to Middlesbrough.
