Belarus defender Dmitry Verkhovtsov is eager to sign for Celtic after flying into Glasgow for transfer talks.

The Belarus international is wanted by manager Tony Mowbray and is believed to be available for around £500,000.

The 23-year-old, who plays for Naftan Novopolotsk in his homeland, has won 12 caps for his country.

Verkhovtsov insists joining the Bhoys would be a chance of a lifetime and that he is eager to put pen-to-paper on a deal.

"I want to play for Celtic and I believe I can make a difference," Verkhovtsov told the Scottish Sun.

"I'm strong in the air and two-footed. This is the chance of my life - and I want to sign for Celtic as quickly as possible."
