Benjamin Nygren Signs for Celtic in €1.5m Move from Nordsjælland

Celtic have signed Swedish attacker Benjamin Nygren from Nordsjælland for €1.5 million. He has agreed on a contract until June 2029, with an option for an extra year.

TRANSFER DETAILS AND PLAYER PROFILE

The 23-year-old forward joins Celtic after scoring 15 goals in 30 matches for Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga last season. He recently made his debut for the Swedish national team, and his versatility is one of his greatest strengths. Nygren is capable of playing as a left winger, right winger, or attacking midfielder. Celtic have shown strong faith in him, and the long contract gives them the option to offer improved terms if he excels or attracts interest from other clubs.

IMPACT ON CELTIC’S SQUAD AND SEASON OUTLOOK

Nygren arrives with a stronger profile and better recent form compared to many of Celtic’s previous signings. His goal-scoring ability and creative play will add firepower to a team looking to build on last season’s successes. Celtic have also recently strengthened their squad with Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan. After finishing top of the Scottish Premiership last season, Celtic are aiming to continue their domestic dominance and make a deeper run in European competitions. Their next match is against Hearts, who finished third last season; both clubs are starting the new season with all points at stake in the opening weekend.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE FUTURE

With Nygren under contract until at least 2029, Celtic have invested in both immediate impact and long-term planning. The club’s summer recruitment has focused on younger talent, signaling a commitment to squad evolution. Nygren’s arrival could intensify competition for starting roles on the wings and in attacking midfield. If he maintains his Superliga form, he could quickly become key to Celtic’s attack. Fans will be eager to see how he adapts to Scottish football, and his performances could shape both the club’s domestic campaign and their hopes in Europe for seasons to come.
