Celtic are delighted to have signed Swedish internationalist, Benjamin Nygren on a five-year deal, subject to international clearance.The 23-year-old attacker joins from Danish side, FC Nordsjælland, where he scored 15 goals last season, and his impressive club form also saw him gain international recognition.He’s already scored two goals in four appearances for Sweden, including in a 2-0 away win over Hungary earlier this month.Speaking about the latest addition to his squad, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: "We’re delighted to have brought Benjamin to Celtic, and we’re all looking forward to working with him. He’s an exciting, quality player who will add to our attacking options in the squad.“He’s a young player who’s already gained plenty of experience at club level, while his impressive performances last season also saw him gain his first caps for Sweden.“Joining Celtic is the next step up in his career, and having spoken to him, he’s delighted to be here and is ready to take on the exciting challenges ahead at home and in Europe.“He’s a player that I’m sure our supporters will enjoy watching and it’s great to have him as part of our squad.”And speaking exclusively to Celtic TV after completing his move to the Scottish Champions, Benjamin Nygren said: “I feel amazing to have signed for Celtic, it’s so nice to be here. I’ve been looking forward to this so much.

“I’m a player who wants to create a lot of chances and go towards goal. I’m a link between the defence and the offence and I can run a lot. I’m an offensive-minded player but I also work hard and try to do my best in all parts of the game.“I’m a very competitive person and this is something that I love about Celtic. It’s a huge club and I love that. And, also, the winning mentality. I want to be with similar-minded people who also love to win.“I had my breakthrough when I was very young, so even though I’m 23 years old, I have played over 200 games. I have a lot of experience and that’s what I want to bring.”
