The Hoops now look in pole position to sign him. Anthony Joseph has wrote on Sunday evening the Hoops are in talks with the former English Premier League star after he ripped up his contract with Shanghai Port. Mooy played with Brighton until 2020 before moving to China after a lucrative offer emerged.

The 31-year-old worked under Postecoglou during his time in charge of the Australian national side.

"In terms of us, we have got a plan that we are sticking to and so far I am pretty happy with the progress we are making on all fronts and hopefully there will be some news coming out before the season starts. He looks set to continue conversations with the player this week. The Telegraph state that club will be Celtic despite interest from a host of English Championship sides this summer.

But one has to point out that the Australian does not have nearly the injury history that the former Everton star has. Many have compared the move to the one for James McCarthy last summer. But a year later, the Hoops look set to get their man, and that too on a free transfer.

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.

AUSTRAILIAN midfielder Aaron Mooy is set for a move to Celtic after Middlesbrough had held discussions over a potential deal.

The former Huddersfield Town and Manchester City midfielder would have added depth after Boro allowed Martin Payero to head back to Argentina to seal a loan move to Boca Juniors. We will do and we’ll have better players through the door at the club and that will make us stronger.” The deal should be completed later this week.

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.

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."
