NYGREN JUST LIKE IBRA

NYGREN IN GREEN: Celtic seem a natural fit for the Swedish teenager

- By Michael Gannon

BENJAMIN NYGREN is very much down to earth for a kid who was a Swedish teenage sensation who drew comparisons with Big Head himself.

The Celtic ace is convinced being thrust into the spotlight as a schoolboy will help him handle the heat of playing for the Hoops.

Nygren has settled in quickly at Celts and already looks like a summer steal after being picked up from Nordsjaelland for just £1.7m.

But it shouldn’t come as a surprise. This is a guy who takes most things in his stride — even being talked about in the same breath as Zlatan Ibrahimovic (inset) — nicknamed Big Head in his homeland — when he was still lunching in the school canteen.
