CELTIC have been told to enjoy Arne Engels while they can because he is destined for the very top, and this could be his last season in the Hoops.
CELTIC have been told to enjoy Arne Engels while they can because he is destined for the very top, and this could be his last season in the Hoops.
That is the view of his former Augsburg teammate Kevin Mbabu.
He has predicted that if the Belgian midfielder makes an even bigger impact than he did in his debut year at Parkhead then he will be a dead cert to be sold next summer.
Celtic bought Engels for a club record £11million fee, but Midtjyliand defender Mbabu believes that will be loose change when they do cash it in.
Mbabu, be/ow, said: “| am very happy for him with his success at Celtic, | think he is an amazing player. But if he keeps going like that | don't think he will stay for long at Celtic.
“1 haven't been in touch with Arne for a while, but | always keep an eye on his progress.
“I follow most of my former teammates on Instagram, checking their pictures and seeing how things are going. | look at their results.
“| have tried to keep an eye on him at Celtic.
“He has been doing very well.
He has scored a lot of goals, a lot of penalties - he doesn’t miss them!
