Benjamin Nygren has spoken out about his future at Celtic, amidst speculation linking him with a move away from the club.
The Swedish midfielder is coming off the back of a successful debut season in Scottish football.
Nygren’s Award-Winning Season
Nygren swept the board at Celtic’s Player of the Year awards night, lifting Men’s Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year and Men’s Top Goalscorer.
He has scored 20 goals in 55 appearances across all competitions, also providing eight assists.
His impact has been immediate.
Transfer Speculation Shut Down
With clubs reportedly circling, Nygren addressed the transfer talk directly.
Speaking via Celtic FC’s YouTube channel, the 24-year-old said, “To be honest, it’s not a question that I think of. My focus is at Celtic now and that’s it.”
When pushed further on whether he saw himself staying at the club despite having a deal running until 2030, Nygren shut the conversation down quickly.
Focus on the Run-In
Nygren’s response was measured and professional, refusing to fuel speculation.
There are two league games left and the margins are tight.
Motherwell away on Wednesday is first up, before Hearts arrive at Celtic Park on Saturday in what could yet become a title decider.
The Scottish Cup Final against Dunfermline sits further down the line on May 23, but nobody inside the squad will be looking beyond Fir Park right now.
Celtic supporters will still worry because that is what happens when a player produces at this level.
Right now, Celtic need players focused on getting this team over the line. On the evidence of his comments, Nygren looks exactly that.
