Nygren is poised to become the latest addition to Brendan Rodgers’ squad and is set to sign a four-year contract which includes an additional option year.
Reports suggest that all parties are now working through the final formalities before the transfer is officially confirmed. Barring any late complications, the former IFK Göteborg man will be unveiled in the coming days as Celtic continue to strengthen ahead of the new campaign.
Nygren will arrive after an impressive spell in Denmark, where his pace, creativity, and eye for goal made him a standout performer. His versatility in the final third is expected to be a major asset for Celtic, with the attacker comfortable operating across the front line.

The move represents another step in Rodgers’ summer rebuild, as the club looks to refresh key areas of the squad following last season’s double-winning campaign. Celtic have been active early in the window and Nygren’s signing suggests there’s no intention of slowing down.
With pre-season preparations now set to get underway, the timing of the deal allows Nygren to integrate quickly into his new surroundings and stake a claim for a starting place.
While the official announcement is still pending, the pieces are in place for Celtic to confirm their third summer recruit shortly.
