Swedish Winger Benjamin Nygren Nears £1.5m Move To Celtic

Celtic is set to finalize the signing of Swedish winger Benjamin Nygren from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland for around £1.5 million, with the player already in Scotland to complete the deal. Nygren, 23, impressed last season by scoring 15 goals in 30 games and has agreed to a four-year contract with an option for a fifth, adding depth and versatility to Brendan Rodgers’ squad. This transfer is part of Celtic's broader summer recruitment strategy, which has already seen the return of Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan, as the club aims to reinforce midfield and attacking positions. Nordsjaelland’s director of football, Alexander Riget, acknowledged Nygren’s significant role and confirmed the club is preparing to find a replacement, though it will require substantial investment. Riget emphasized the club's ongoing focus on nurturing young talent while supplementing the squad with experienced players, indicating active involvement in the summer transfer window. The move is expected to be officially announced shortly, allowing Nygren to integrate into Celtic’s pre-season preparations and compete for a starting spot.
