Benjamin Nygren signs for Celtic as bargain transfer fee, contract details and stunning scouting report emerge

Celtic are set to snap up the Sweden international in a cut-price deal but could be quids in further down the line according to Marc Rieper. Benjamin Nygren has been hailed as the 'full package' after sealing an initial £1.3m move to Celtic on a four-year deal with an option until 2030. The winger has agreed a cut-price movefrom Danish side Nordsjaelland, with official confirmation expected in the coming days, as Brendan Rodgers beefs up his attacking options. ‌ And according to former Hoops hero Marc Rieper the Parkhead club are getting top class talent who will coin in a massive profit further down the line. ‌ Nygren netted 16 goals across all competitions last season and his form didn't go unnoticed back home, earning him a first senior call-up under Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson in March. He has since won four caps and scored twice for his country. Now the 23-year-old, currently on holiday, looks set to complete his move to Parkhead and have a first crack at the Champions League after snubbing interest from Anderlecht, Copenhagen and the MLS. And Denmark legend Rieper told Mail Sport: 'I've seen Nygren a number of times. He is the full package. A really good player. 'He has tremendous speed, good passing ability and is a really, really good finisher - and from long range. 'When you play for Nordsjaelland you need to be able to keep the ball and he is really good in that sense. ‌ 'Celtic have got a really good player in Nygren. He is top class.' Nygren was one of the Danish Sperliga's most effective attacking threats over the last two seasons and had interest from across Europe a year ago. With just six months left on his contract at Nordsjaelland the Danes have accepted the knockdown fee rather than lose the player for nothing in December. ‌ But Rieper expects Celtic will make a huge profit on Nygren further down the line - with the former defender tipping him to be the latest star to become a £10m-plus player at Parkhead. He said: 'If you do well at Celtic and in Europe then you are very easily a £10million-plus player. 'The way prices are going in Italy, Germany and the Premier League then £10million - as ridiculous as it is to say - is not even a big number any more. 'Look at Matt O'Riley, he's on the verge of leaving Brighton for crazy money as well. I think they will make a good profit on Nygren one day. 'He is a young player and he has got really good ability. But they can look forward to enjoying him in a Celtic shirt for the next few years first.'

Alexander Isak's stance on Liverpool transfer revealed with huge new fee set

Liverpool have not made any approach to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United with the striker not expected to demand an exit this summer. The Premier League champions have moved swiftly and decisively in the summer transfer window, immediately bringing in a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold in Jeremie Frimpong with Milos Kerkez expected to arrive from Bournemouth. Florian Wirtz sealed his move to Anfield on Friday night in the biggest deal in Premier League history, arriving for a fee that could rise to £116million. Liverpool's spending might not end there. With Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez possibly leaving Merseyside, a centre forward to lead Arne Slot's attack could be sought. His side have been linked with a sensational move for Isak, whose current contract at St James' Park expires in 2028. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. But despite growing speculation, the Daily Telegraph report Isak is settled on Tyneside and is not agitating for a move away this summer. There is no expectation that situation will change in the coming months with Newcastle under no pressure from profitability and sustainability rules to sell anyone as things currently stand. Arsenal are long-term admirers of the Sweden international but have given up hope of luring him to the Emirates after being quoted at least £150million last year. The report suggests Newcastle's valuation has only grown, claiming it would take a fee closer to £200m to prise him away – one close to the price Paris Saint-Germain paid to sign Neymar from Barcelona eight years ago. Liverpool have made no contact with Newcastle at this stage – not even an informal enquiry. Isak scored 23 Premier League goals and 27 in all competitions as Newcastle won the Carabao Cup secured Champions League qualification last season. More Trending With European football back on the menu, Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is convinced his side's leading man is going nowhere. 'Got to keep him and they will, I'm pretty certain of that,' Shearer said on The Rest is Football. 'Because of their success this year, because they've got Champions League football, all of those things. 'There's not a worry in my mind that he's going anywhere. He'll be a Newcastle player next season because he's a very, very, very good player.'
