Celtic have announced the signing of Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama from Germinal Beerschot, subject to a work permit and medical.
The club confirmed that they have agreed a fee and personal terms and now must wait for official ratification of the deal.
Twenty-year-old Wanyama, the brother of Inter midfielder McDonald Mariga, has long been a target for manager Neil Lennon, who made an attempt to sign him last summer but was rebuffed by Beerschot.
The defensive midfielder spent three years in Belgium with Beerschot, making 50 league appearances.
And since making his international debut in 2009, Wanyama has established himself in the Kenya side, playing in all six of their World Cup 2010 qualifiers.
