Benjamin Nygren makes admission over Nordsjaelland future amid Celtic talks

Nygren scored 16 goals and assisted two across 32 appearances in all competitions for his club last season. 

He is out of contract with Nordsjaelland at the end of the calendar year. 

Recently speaking about his future to fotbollskanalen, Nygren admitted that he will be on the move this summer: "It’s clear that there is a lot of interest," he said.

"I have done extremely well this whole season. I have scored 15 goals and a few assists in a position as a number ten.

"I am not a number nine who will score goals but more of a player who will create chances and set up others.

"But this season I have scored a lot of goals and shown my qualities. I did that last season too, and I was injured for half of that season.

"It is a league and a team that has a lot of interest and eyes on them, and I have been a big contributing factor to us being as good as we have been.

"I will leave. I’m not thinking about the league, but more about coming to a club that shares my ambitions and that believes in me."

Celtic could reportedly secure the services of Nygren for as little as £1.7 million. 

Brendan Rodgers clearly has his eye on attacking reinforcements after Kieran Tierney's return was made official earlier in the week.
