Speaking on Simpson-Pusey after he made his first Premier League appearance for City at the end of last year, Guardiola said [One Football]: "The guy [Simpson-Pusey] played really good, the young lad again, with this composure and duels and everything was good. It’s not easy for him.
"Normally the young lads, they must come in with support from the team, with Rodri in front of them, right? With the best Kyle [Walker], and defenders, and now we support him.
"Now he’s playing in a position that is difficult for him but he performed unbelievable.
"We have a central defender to help us for the future, for the next years. I’m really pleased. Always there is good news when the situation goes bad, and this is one of them."
Simpson-Pusey could become Celtic's seventh summer signing, following the arrivals of Ross Doohan, Kieran Tierney, Callum Osmand, Benjamin Nygren, Hayato Inamura and Shin Yamada.
