Overview
- Haissem Hassan completed a medical in London and signed a four‑year contract with Celtic on Wednesday, with the club holding an option for a further season.
- Celtic agreed an initial fee reported at about £6m with up to £3m in add‑ons, a large share of which is linked to the club reaching the Champions League group stage.
- The club is finalising paperwork to register Hassan ahead of the Champions League play‑off against LASK Linz, because qualification-linked bonuses and UEFA deadlines affect his eligibility for the tie.
- Celtic recruited Hassan to add pace, dribbling and inverted‑wing options as part of a summer attacking rebuild that already included signings Kasper Høgh and Camilo Durán and follows departures of key forwards.
- Born in France and capped by Egypt after youth appearances for France, Hassan rose to wider attention with eye‑catching displays at the 2026 World Cup and attracted interest from clubs in France, England and Saudi Arabia before choosing Celtic.
