Sinclair completes Celtic move

Scott Sinclair has completed his move to Celtic, for a reported £3 million.

Sinclair, who joins the Scottish champions on a four-year deal, made his Villa debut in January 2015 after originally arriving at Villa Park on loan from Manchester City.

His finest moment in his initial loan spell came in the FA Cup, when he scored Villa’s second against West Brom in the quarter-final.

Tim Sherwood turned Sinclair’s stay into a permanent one last summer, with Villa paying £2.5 million to secure the former Swansea winger.

However, after a bright start to the season which included scoring two goals against Sunderland at the end of August, Sinclair failed to find any kind of form as Villa lurched from one disaster to another.

Sinclair’s departure to Celtic means that seven first-team players have left permanently so far this summer, as Roberto Di Matteo continues his clear out of the squad which performed so poorly last season.
