Celtic behind Leeds in race to sign Kleberson

CELTIC may be set to miss out on the services of Brazilian Kleberson after Leeds edged ahead in the chase for the World Cup winner.

The Atletico Paranaense star was a target for Hoops manager Martin O’Neill before the transfer window closed in August.

However, the South American club wanted a commitment on a permanent deal once the initial loan period had expired, which O’Neill and the Glasgow club were not prepared to agree to.
