The Nordsjaelland striker has six months remaining on his contract, but he is going to Glasgow, and he is not the only one.
Celtic, the Premiership champions, are on the verge of adding four new players after agreeing to pay £1.7 million for Sweden international Benjamin Nygren.
The Nordsjaelland striker has six months left on his contract, but the Danes will cash in now, and the Premiership champions are set to finalise the deal in the coming days.
However, Nygren’s arrival, following the official unveiling of Kieran Tierney last week, is unlikely to be the last for Brendan Rodgers’ side this summer.
Fulham B standout Callum Osmand is likely to transfer to Glasgow, with the prospect of first-team play too appealing for the Wales young international.
Osmand was praised for his eye-catching performances with the Cottagers, and his departure to Celtic has sparked a broader debate over the advantages of Fulham’s renowned finishing school for their most gifted young players. While Osmand is a player for the present, another transaction is nearing completion, with Morton standout Isaac English eyeing a move to Celtic.
The 17-year-old is expected to continue his growth at the club’s academy and has received positive feedback as he prepares to leave Cappielow.
Celtic will also announce the signing of Ross Doohan, the club’s former academy standout who would likely replace Scott Bain as the club’s number three.
Viji Sinisalo is expected to succeed Kasper Schmeichel, but 27-year-old Doohan plans to make his way up the pecking order in the coming years.
Back to Nygren and his belief that Celtic have got a transfer bargain. The 23-year-old is regarded as a developing talent who has overcome difficulties to prove his value with Nordsjaelland and the Swedish national team.
David Boysen, a Superliga expert, was effusive in his praise after selling him as a transfer possibility to Denmark’s best clubs. In an interview with Tipsbladet, the speaker stated that Benjamin Nygren would have been an ideal signing for both Brøndby and FC Copenhagen, with FC Midtjylland also being a possibility. He is an excellent player who can fill a variety of roles.
“Some players rise to the occasion, as Benjamin Nygren, who has been named team captain, has demonstrated. “He earlier claimed that he had not played enough for FC Nordsjaelland, which has benefited him because he has been handed a significant role. I think he is really wonderful and scores goals in a variety of ways, and he even scored on his national team debut.”
Meanwhile, Michel-Ange Balikwisha changed the cryptic tweets for a scene of peace, posting a snapshot of himself relaxing on a boat just as it was announced Celtic are still in talks with Royal Antwerp about a prospective transfer to Scotland.
Balikwisha, along with Sarpsborg standout Sondre Ørjasaeter, have been the two left-wing options in the frame. Jota’s tragic injury and Daizen Maeda’s switch to center striker accelerated the need for another winger.
