Celtic Secure Jahmai Simpson-Pusey Manchester City Loan Strengthen Defense

News summary

Celtic have secured the season-long loan signing of 19-year-old centre-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey from Manchester City, marking their seventh summer acquisition. Simpson-Pusey, an England youth international and former captain of City's FA Youth Cup-winning team, made six senior appearances last season and was highly praised by Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers for his pace, defensive skills, and ability to build play from the back. Rodgers highlighted Simpson-Pusey's potential to contribute immediately given Celtic’s demanding schedule and playing style. Meanwhile, Celtic have also loaned out 21-year-old defender Ben McPherson to Partick Thistle for the upcoming season, aiming to provide him with regular competitive minutes following recovery from an ACL injury. Thistle manager Mark Wilson expressed enthusiasm about McPherson’s energy, experience, and potential for further development during his loan spell. Both moves reflect Celtic's ongoing strategy to strengthen their squad while developing young talent through targeted loans.
