Conor Hazard nears Celtic transfer exit as Plymouth deal set to send six-figure windfall to Parkhead

Plymouth are closing in on a six-figure deal to sign Conor Hazard.

The newly-promoted English Championship outfit have agreed a fee, with future add-ons, with Celtic. The Northern Irish international is keen to kick on with his career and to get regular first-team football. The 25-year-old has come through the Celtic academy and has been at the club for nine years. Joe Hart, Scott Bain and Benjaming Siegrist are all ahead of him for the gloves at Celtic. Hazard was a final hero when Celtic lifted the 2019-20 Scottish Cup.

The majority of his playing time at Celtic has come via loans away from the Scottish Premiership champions. Hazard has had domestic loans at Falkirk, Partick Thistle and Dundee twice. The goalkeeper also had a successful loan in Finland with HJK Helsinki last year - where he was named the league’s top shot-stopper after helping the club to the league title.
