‘IT’S AN HONOUR TO JOIN CELTIC,’ SAYS NEW BHOY BENYU
CELTIC have signed 19-year-old Ipswich Town midfielder Kundai Benyu on a four-year contract, as CQN predicted earlier today.
The youngster was out of contract at Portman Road and the Championship club will be owed compensation after they offered him a new deal, but could not agree terms.
Benyu was reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs, but has chosen to move to Brendan Rodgers’ treble-winners.
He said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining Celtic. It’s a massive honour to sign for the Scottish champions and one of the world’s truly great clubs.
“It’s also a great opportunity for me to continue to develop as a footballer under Brendan Rodgers.
“I’m looking forward to meeting up with my new Celtic team-mates. I know there’s a lot of hard work ahead of me, but I am ready for this.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge and I can’t wait to get started.”
Benyu was on loan at Aldershot last year, where he made 21 appearances and scored five goals.
