He also claims that Premier League giants Manchester United were interested, with Celtic on the verge of pipping them to the signing of Nikolic.
The young forward has scored 35 goals in 25 games for Western Sydney at under-15 level, with Celtic potentially bringing him into the youth set-up.
The 15-year-old, Nikolic, is said by Ray Gatt to be highly talented, having impressed at Western Sydney.
Brendan Rodger has already strengthened his senior striking options this month, with Oliver Burke and Timothy Weah both joining the club.
Burke scored twice and Weah netted once as they both made their debuts against St. Mirren earlier this week.
