And yes, for a physical looking player Mooy may well come up short when it comes to the tackle, but he can win possession in advanced areas by nicking the ball ...

And although he’s been out of football since January – due to the Covid situation in the Chinese Super League – Mooy proved his fitness wasn’t in question when playing every minute of Australia’s games last month against the UAE and Peru, before scoring in the penalty shootout that saw the Socceroo’s defeat Peru to qualify for Qatar 2022. There is a real chance here that Callum McGregor and Aaron Mooy will be a beautiful partnership to watch emerge, as both players really should suit each other’s game. Particularly when, as Mooy can, he sees a passing option on the field of play quicker than any bod sitting in the Gods at Celtic Park. And with the accuracy of delivery to match his ability to spot it, Celtic are getting themselves someone who doesn’t need to shift, himself because this is a player who will make the ball do the leg-work. But possibly the biggest attribute Mooy will bring to Celtic is his elite level decision making. And yes, for a physical looking player Mooy may well come up short when it comes to the tackle, but he can win possession in advanced areas by nicking the ball away precisely, rather than thundering into a bone crunching tackle. Add to that this is a player who never looks flustered in possession – no matter how many opposition bodies surround him, or how few passing options emerge immediately.

You'll have heard by now that Aaron Mooy is on the brink of joining Celtic and reuniting with his former national team boss Ange Postecoglou.

Not every signing Celtic make will be a blockbuster obvious improvement on our strongest starting eleven. Postecoglou wants another option he trusts in the middle of the park, and the incoming signing can play multiple roles. A further update also emerged after the initial news broke last night, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the midfielder is set to sign a short-term one-year contract at the club, with the option of a second.

Aaron Mooy is expected to join Celtic after a spell in the Chinese Super League, according to Mike McGrath.

The Australian’s next move was domestic as he joined Melbourne City in 2014. Talks have progressed for the Australia midfielder to join squad of countryman Ange Postecoglou The move will see Mooy reunite with fellow Australian Ange Postecoglou.

It may seem a strange decision to choose between the 31-year-old in the twilight of their career and the up-and-coming PSG starlet, but according to ...

The manager after all knows what he’s getting with Aaron Mooy, perhaps in the case of Edouard Michut that was altogether less certain. Christophe Galtier who replaced Mauricio Pochettino as PSG boss this summer had apparently let it be known Edouard Michut would be considered as youth player for the upcoming season, and for a player who had started to make his breakthrough to first team football under Pochettino that didn’t go down well. Celtic appear a very tight knit group of players, most seem to buy into a team comes first ethic and the process the manager expects them to follow.

The 31-year-old is set to become the latest new face at Celtic Park during a busy summer for the Scottish champions.

When quizzed on the decision to leave out Mooy and the comments of the midfielder, Postecoglou was bullish in a response that will be all too familiar to Celtic fans. We wanted to be a bit more aggressive in attack and Aaron was the one who missed out. We’ve just got to be a little bit more clinical, it can make a big difference to the team’s confidence."

After three seasons in West Yorkshire, he departed for Brighton and Hove Albion after the Terriers were relegated back to the Championship in 2019. Mooy was a star player for the Terriers when they secured promotion to the Premier League under David Wagner in 2017. Mooy was linked with a Terriers return last week, but Town were never interested in re-signing the midfielder.

As Celtic's pursuit of Aaron Mooy looks set to end in success, a quote from ex-Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic has come to light.

Celtic waved goodbye to Ismaila Soro, Tom Rogic and Nir Bitton this summer. He’s an Ange Postecoglou type of player and can add depth to the middle of the park. Tom isn’t a bad player himself and he recognises talent when he sees it.

Multiple outlets and journalists, including Mike McGrath at The Telegraph, Derek McGregor at The Scottish Sun, Mark Hendry at Football Scotland and Fabrizio ...

As we discussed this morning, the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer feels too good to miss, especially if there’s no risk of a long-term contract. Most importantly, the manager knows exactly the kind of player he will be getting and presumably has a good enough relationship with him to have a sense of his desire to compete hard this season following discussions. There’s been a mixed reaction online to the Mooy news – he perhaps doesn’t have the kind of profile some supporters were expecting to arrive at the club this week.
