Arne Engels is reportedly moving closer to leaving Celtic this summer, with West Ham United emerging as the team most likely to secure his signature, according to multiple reports. The Belgian midfielder, who has attracted interest from several clubs, is said to be edging toward an exit from the Scottish club rather than remaining for another season.
Both outlets describe a transfer process that is progressing toward a conclusion, framing West Ham as the leading destination in the race for Engels. The Daily Record characterizes the situation as “close,” suggesting the negotiation stage has advanced, while Yahoo Sports similarly reports that Engels appears to be heading toward an exit and that West Ham holds the advantage among interested parties.
While the reports differ slightly in wording and emphasis, they converge on the same core point: Engels’ future at Celtic is increasingly uncertain, and West Ham is positioned as the frontrunner to complete a move. No official confirmation of a transfer or fee is provided in the articles cited.
