A new hire for the Celtics Arne Engels makes a strong debut for Belgium in the Friday night triumph.
Celtic signing a record In Friday night’s Nations League victory over Israel, Arne Engels’ Belgium national team achieved a significant milestone.
The £11 million acquisition from Augsburg played 17 minutes on the field after replacing goal scorer Youri Tielemans in their 3-1 triumph.
Before receiving his first call-up to the senior team in June, Engels competed for Belgium at every young age group up to the U21 level, however he was never awarded a cap.
He’s taken the next step tonight, and his association with a top international team suggests that Celtic will be a good fit for him.
The fact that Domenico Tedesco views Engels as a future member of his midfield, which currently features Tielemans, Amadou Onana, and Kevin de Bruyne, is extremely encouraging.
It’s been an incredible week for Arne Engels.
For the talented midfield player, the last seven days have been hectic. Due to travel problems, he was only now making his way to Celtic Park to finalize his switch to the Bhoys last week.
Then, on Sunday, he made his Bhoys debut against Rangers in one of the greatest derbies in international football.
For the 20-year-old and his family, this will be yet another extremely proud occasion and a clear indication that his goal of making a name for himself at the highest level of football is on track.
According to Engels
When asked earlier this week what he might offer his nation, the new Celtic Bhoy said, “I am a player who can bring energy to the Red Devils.” and the will to triumph. Even in training when we play mutual games, I truly win every day. Furthermore, if needed, my strong passing and kicking skills may be utilized in set pieces.
In addition, I have a lot of versatility. Although I like to play in midfield, I contribute everywhere. Mostly, I’m here to study. My goal is to provide high-quality work. to demonstrate my value for being here.
The young player is still getting to know Celtic fans, but I have a feeling it won’t take him long to win over the supporters. Next week, hopefully, we’ll see him start for the first time in Scotland, at home against Hearts.
