Jeremie Frimpong admits he cannot wait to prove his worth at Celtic after sealing his deadline day switch from Manchester City.
The 18-year-old has penned a four-year deal after turning heads in City's academy and has lifted the lid on his chat with Neil Lennon hours before he made the move to Parkhead.
Celtic announced the signing of Greg Taylor and his arrival was quickly followed by the news the Dutch defender had agreed terms with the Premiership champions.
Frimpong insists he's ready to make an instant impact in Glasgow and received a pre-signing boost after talking with the Hoops boss.
He told Celtic TV: “The manager phoned me today and told me that he believes in me and he thinks that what I can do will be good for the team.
“That’s really good to hear, and I’m going to try my best to get in the squad and help them to win things.
“My target is to get as many games as I can, to win everything for the team and I’ll give it my all.”
Frimpong admits he's familiar with his new team but concedes he still had to do some brushing up ahead of his big move to Glasgow.
He added: "We played Celtic’s Under-23s and it wasn’t long after that I found out Celtic were interested in signing me,” he explained. “That was incredible, and as soon as I heard, I was excited and I wanted to take this opportunity.
“I started going on YouTube to watch Celtic, and when they were on TV, I watched the games. I watched Sunday’s match against Rangers. What a game! Celtic were brilliant and deserved to win.
“Now I can’t wait to play at Celtic Park in front of the fans. Hopefully when I get on the pitch and do something good, I’ll hear the noise for me.”
