It’s shaping up to be a day to remember for Arne Engels. The 20-year-old midfielder is on the verge of becoming Celtic’s most expensive player in their history, with a deadline-day move from Augsburg to the Scottish champions imminent. As if that wasn’t enough, Engels has also received his first call-up to the Belgium national team.
Engels, who has been a standout performer for Augsburg in the Bundesliga, has caught the attention of scouts across Europe. His performances have now earned him a dream move to Celtic, where he is expected to bring a new level of creativity and energy to the midfield.
The Belgian is expected to arrive in Glasgow today to finalise the details of his transfer before the 11 pm deadline. However, his time in Scotland will be short-lived initially, as he’ll soon be off to join the Belgian national team for their upcoming international fixtures.
For Engels, this week must feel like a dream come true. Not only is he on the brink of becoming Celtic’s most expensive signing, but he’s also set to don the Belgium jersey for the first time—a significant achievement for any young footballer.
Celtic fans can’t wait for the official announcement, and if all goes as planned, Engels should be proudly holding up a Celtic shirt within the next 12 hours. It’s a massive move for both the player and the club, with Engels expected to play a key role in the team’s future.
