CELTIC starlet Cameron Harper has agreed a deal which will take him to New York Red Bulls during this window, according to reports.
Various outlets are reporting that a fee has been agreed to take the 19-year-old American – who started a recent Hoops match against Hibs – back home.
Harper made his first start against Hibs
The MLS transfer window doesn’t officially open until February 10, ahead of the new season which is scheduled to begin a few weeks later, and it doesn’t close until May 4.
The 19-year-old – who can play through the middle or out wide – had been in discussions over a pre-contract.
But the Red Bulls are believed to want the player in as soon as possible ahead of the season starting and the player is thought to have agreed a multi-year deal.
He becomes the latest promising Parkhead talent to leave after Liam Morrison and Barry Hepburn joined Bayern Munich, Liam Hughes to Liverpool and Josh Adam to Manchester City.
Meanwhile, James Forrest will hand the Hoops a boost when he returns to training next week.
The Scotland winger has been out of action for the last four months.
Forrest, 29, underwent surgery on an ankle injury and has been doing his rehab behind the scenes.

“He’s been out on the grass doing his rehab fitness work and the physios are confident he’ll be ready to join back in next week.”
