Celtic central defender Gustaf Lagerbielke has completed his medical with Eredivisie outfit FC Twente ahead of a switch to the Netherlands.

The 24-year-old travelled to Holland last night, with a season-long loan deal in the works.

It is only a matter of time before Lagerbielke is confirmed as a new Twente signing after the club beat Herenveen and Leece to his signature:

A good move for the Swede, Brendan Rodgers confirmed last week that Lagerbielke is not in his plans for the new season.

The boss, though, had nothing but praise for the defender, whose attitude, despite rarely getting first-team minutes, has been top-drawer.

With Yuki Kobayashi and now Lagerbielke gone, one assumes Brendan Rodgers will dip his toe into the market for a centre-back.

Stephen Welsh and Maik Nawrocki being the back-ups to Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers doesn’t strike fans with confidence. A new face at the heart of the backline before deadline day would be most welcome.
