Celtic 'eye' move for 16-goal Sweden international available for cut-price fee

Celtic are reportedly eyeing a move for Swedish attacker Benjamin Nygren. 

The 23-year-old plies his trade for Danish top-tier outfit Nordsjaelland. 

Nygren is on Brendan Rodgers' radar, claims SunSport, who say that he could be available for as little as £2 million, given that he is out of contract in just six months.

It is said that Celtic face competition from the likes of Anderlecht and Copenhagen to sign the creative forward. 

Nygren has excelled playing as a number 10 for  Nordsjaelland, but he can also operate on the left or right wing. 

He scored 16 goals and assisted four in 32 Nordsjaelland appearances last season as they finished fifth in the Superligaen. 

Nygren has also registered four Sweden caps, scoring twice for his country. 

He has confirmed that he won't renew his contract at Nordsjaelland, which expires at the end of the calendar year.

Celtic have been linked with a raft of players over the past 24 hours and more. 

Callum Osmand has reportedly agreed terms on a move to Parkhead, with the likes of Nilson Angulo, Sondre Orjasaeter and Michel-Ange Balikwisha all said to be of interest to the Scottish Premiership champions.
