Celtic welcomes Shumaira Mheuka to the club | OneFootball

The latest new player to join Celtic is Shim Mheuka who arrives on a year-long loan from English Premier League side Chelsea.

The striker recently signed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge and is another addition to Martin O’Neill’s squad in this current transfer window.

He told CelticPlayer on signing for the Hoops: “It's amazing. Walking in, I could feel the echo and the surround sound of the stadium. You almost feel the history as you walk in.

“It's a real feeling. I wish everyone could feel it, an amazing feeling and I'm so, so happy to be here.

“This is something that I've been doing since I was a little kid. And to be able to do it in front of the Celts, the fans and show my ability in front of them, it's something that I can't wait to do. It's almost a feeling of excitement rather than nerves.

“I can't wait to score at Celtic Park. You know, I'll be chasing that feeling every game, every chance that I get.

“I’m over the moon, buzzing to be here. I'm eager, if you can't tell, so yeah, I'm ready. Let's go.”

Celtic manager, Martin O’Neill said: “Shim has great quality, hence Chelsea extending his contract, however I think this period of his career, spent with us, will be beneficial to him and obviously to us.

“I look forward to working with him, he is a player who I think can give us another great attacking dimension and I’m sure he will make an important contribution to Celtic.”
