Arne Engels, the new record signing for Celtic, is ready to embrace his role at the club and is excited to be part of the “biggest club in Scotland”
Having been acquired for £11million from Augsburg, the Belgium midfielder is eager to repay the club’s investment in him. With over 50 appearances in the Bundesliga and his debut for the Belgium national team, Engels is determined to keep improving and believes that Celtic’s high expectations will only motivate him further.
When asked about the pressure of being the club’s record signing, Engels responded, “No, I just want to enjoy my football. They paid a big amount for me and I want to give back to the club by performing at my best. I am focused on adapting quickly to the team and giving my all.”
Describing Celtic as a “really big club” and the “biggest club in Scotland”, Engels is excited about the opportunity to play for a team that competes for championships and cups regularly. He believes that playing in the Champions League will be an added bonus to his experience at Celtic.
Having made a quick transition to life in Glasgow, including a debut off the bench against Rangers and a call-up to the Belgium national team, Engels feels at home and is motivated by the passionate support of Celtic fans.
Engels also acknowledged his growth as a player after moving to Germany at a young age and expressed his confidence in his abilities to succeed at Celtic.
Overall, Engels is looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead at Celtic and is determined to make a positive impact on the team.
