Na syne to the misty hills of Glasgow, 'cause that's where we reckon Arne Engels, midfielder for FC Augsburg, might be heading. Word on the street is that Celtic Glasgow is trying to wrangle Engels from the German side, and if everything pans out, it'll mean a cool 13 million euros in their wallets – not too shabby!
This lad was bought by FC Augsburg back in Jan 2023, but for a measly 100,000 euros from Club Brugge's youth squad. But who remembers old news? Trends come and go, and so do players. So here's the lowdown: Engels has been eyeing Edinburgh, and if the whispers are true, he'll be donning a kilt (or tartan trousers) soon.
Officially though, the club rep says the deal ain't finalized yet. Seems like they're just shuffling papers at the moment. But if it goes down on a Sunday, it'll mean a solid midfielder for Celtic and a big fat wad of cash for FC Augsburg.
Now, if you gotta know, Engels has been tearing it up in the Bundesliga, no question about it. He's clocked 51 games and netted three goals. Quite impressive, if you ask me. But what's really got the town talking is his potential move to the Scottish giants. The buzz is, he's fitting in smashingly in Glasgow, like a fish in water. Given his keen skills and dazzling technique, it's no wonder folks are talking about Celtic having an interest.
So keep your eyes on the pitch, folks. Here's to hoping we see Arne Engels sportin' a Celtic jersey soon!
