Transfer Latest – Celtic agree £1.7m fee with Nordsjaelland for Benjamin Nygren

Celtic have agreed a £1.7 million fee to sign Nordsjaelland forward Benjamin Nygren, that being exactly the price The Celtic Star told you last week rather than the figures quoted elsewhere…

According to Sky Sports, the reigning Scottish champions are indeed set to spend £1.7 million on the 23-year-old winger. Late last week, Anthony Joseph revealed that the Sweden international and the Hoops had reached a verbal agreement on personal terms, with talks advancing smoothly.

Celtic now aiming to complete the transfer swiftly

Celtic are now aiming to complete the transfer swiftly, with their first-team squad scheduled to resume pre-season training towards the end of next week.

Last season, Nygren scored 16 goals across 32 appearances for the Danish top-flight side, where his contract was set to expire at the end of this year. Don’t be concerned about this article going behind a paywall before you get past the first couple of paragraphs, that’s not going to happen on The Celtic Star. Nor will we lift articles from elsewhere, put it through AI and then post as our own, soiling the original writer’s work in the process.

Although mainly an attacking midfielder, Nygren is versatile enough to operate as a striker or on both flanks. He has earned four senior caps for Sweden, scoring twice, and last season he most notably notched a hat-trick for Nordsjaelland against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the UEFA Conference League.

With Kieran Tierney’s return now official, Celtic have been linked to a host of players as transfer activity ramps up ahead of the summer window taking shape for Brendan Rodgers’ side. The left-back committed to a five-year deal last Tuesday, while Rodgers continues to prioritise bolstering attacking players with further acquisitions expected.

With Tierney confirmed and Callum Osmand alongside Nygren expected to follow soon, Celtic appear to be getting a head start on transfers, a notable shift from previous windows where signings were often delayed – making this proactive approach ahead of pre-season a welcome change.

Johan Mjallby on Nygren

Meanwhile, fellow Swede and former Celtic defender Johan Mjallby believes Nygren is making an excellent career choice: Benjamin Nygren can fulfil his Champions League dream at Celtic. He only needs to look at Celtic’s last Champions League campaign, which was very successful, and we saw a lot of good things from the team, especially in the away games against the likes of Atalanta and Bayern Munich, where they showed that they had matured a lot in that arena,” he said, speaking to Scottish Sun.

“Playing for Celtic in the Champions League is something special. Nygren will know that Celtic will play to a 60,000 packed house every time they play at home in that competition. They are not called the best supporters in the world for nothing. Surely he knows all about that.”

UPDATE: Celtic have agreed a fee of £1.7m to sign Nordsjaelland attacker Benjamin Nygren. @SkySportsNews revealed last week that the 23yo verbally agreed terms with #CelticFC and that talks with #FCN were progressing well. Celtic will now look to finalise the move with Nygren
