Joel Mvuka Set for Celtic Transfer Following Bodo Success, Redzic and Ghedjemis Push
Joel Mvuka is on the verge of transferring to Celtic from French club Lorient. The 23-year-old Norwegian is eager to secure a spot in Norway’s squad for the upcoming World Cup.
Background on Joel Mvuka
Mvcuka, capable of playing as a right winger or wing back, has enjoyed success across three countries. He won titles with:
- Bodo-Glimt in Norway
- Young Boys while on loan in Switzerland
- Lorient in Ligue 2 last season
Celtic’s Interest and the Terms of Transfer
Reportedly, Celtic has finalized a deal for Mvuka, who was signed by Lorient for £4 million three years ago. His role at Lorient has been somewhat limited this season, making only five starts while primarily playing backup to teammate Theo Le Bris.
While Mvuka’s arrival is anticipated, questions arise regarding Celtic’s ongoing interest in other players, including Damir Redzic and Faris Ghedjemis from Frosinone.
International Ambitions
On the international stage, Mvuka has earned 16 caps with Norway’s Under-21 team. He expressed his ambition to join notable players like Erling Haaland at the World Cup in the USA. Mvuka stated, “Of course I’m thinking about the World Cup. It’s a big dream and a huge opportunity for me.”
He emphasized the positive growth of Norwegian football, saying, “The last few years have been incredible for Norway. There are many great players performing well, and the development of football in Norway is excellent.”
Conclusion
As Mvuka prepares to embark on this new chapter with Celtic, he remains focused on enhancing his performance. His ultimate goal is to contribute as much as possible to his team while paving his path to international representation at the World Cup.
