KUNDAI BENYU came to Celtic from Ipswich Town last year with most people not knowing an awful lot about him.

Fast forward 12 months and nothing has changed.

The 20-year-old who was brought in as a project for Brendan Rodgers was initially earmarked to go straight back out on-loan last summer; however, having seen him up close Rodgers decided he would be best served being around the club.

After a couple of sporadic experiences followed by a poor show in Celtic’s 5-0 win over Kilmarnock where he was substituted – the midfielder was never heard from again.

In January, Rodgers decided to pull the trigger on a loan deal for the young lad and sent him back down south to Oldham to get much needed first team experience.

Three games into his loan move and he was dropped from the team, making just one more league appearance the rest of the season. He firstly fell to the bench and then out of the squad altogether as Oldham fought against relegation – a battle that was unsuccessful in the end.

Between Celtic and Oldham, the midfielder has played just nine first team games this season – a total of 459 minutes on the field.

With first team football key to development and the fact the player couldn’t hold a place down with a League 1 side – it has to be concerning for the manager.

Kundai looks lively on the field and eager but doesn’t show much discipline or awareness. With so many players in his position vying for a place in the team – there is no chance of Kundai making his way into the Celtic starting XI this season.

Should Celtic cut their losses with the 20-year-old or should they seek to find him a better loan club before giving up on this particular project?

A loan move in Scottish football would make the most sense.
