Brendan Rodgers discloses the unexpected role that a Chelsea legend played in Benjamin Nygren’s transfer to Celtic.

 

 

 

Brendan Rodgers has disclosed that Benjamin Nygren was introduced to him by a Chelsea legend. Celtic signed Nygren last week in a transaction that is estimated to be worth approximately £1.2 million.

 

 

 

 

Brendan Rodgers provides a detailed account of Michael Essien’s involvement in the transfer of Nygren. The current Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, encountered Michael Essien while working with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea. Essien, who currently serves as the assistant manager at Nordsjaelland, was an indispensable member of the first team squad at Stamford Bridge.

 

 

 

 

Rodgers disclosed that Essien had informed him of Nygren during his inaugural preseason interview. He stated, “Benjamin is an individual who has undergone significant growth and development.” He was a highly talented youngster who made a transfer that did not quite work out, but he has done well at Nordsjaelland.

 

 

 

 

 

“I maintained communication with Michael Essien, a distinguished midfielder who was a friend of mine.” He is employed at the institution and expressed his admiration for Benjamin.What is the anticipated date for Benjamin Nygren’s Celtic debut? Nygren is among the numerous Celtic players who have yet to return to Lennoxtown following their international commitments with Sweden.

 

 

 

 

He will not be available for the club’s inaugural pre-season friendly against Queen’s Park, as he is scheduled to arrive shortly with his fellow new signing, Kieran Tierney. The Cork City encounter on 8 July may also be premature; however, the inaugural game in Portugal may be the first to feature the newcomer.
