Read more: "I came to FC Nordsjaelland as a young boy, and now I am leaving the club as a grown man," he told their official website. "It has been a fantastic time for me, and I have grown a lot both as a footballer and as a person. "It has been important for me to play regularly and get big challenges both in the Superliga and in the Conference League, and at the same time, I have played with some really good players who have helped me develop. "So I would like to thank all my teammates and the coaches who have helped me regain my confidence and become the player I am now. At the same time, they have also supported my personal development, where I have taken more responsibility on and off the pitch and have become a leader. I was proud to wear the captain's armband in many of the games this spring. "I have loved my time at FC Nordsjælland, and it has meant a lot to me to play at Right to Dream Park. I am very grateful to all the fans who have supported me and the team. "The club and the stadium became my home. – Now I'm moving on to new adventures and chasing new dreams and goals, but of course I will still follow everything that happens in Farum, because I will always have FC Nordsjælland in my heart."

Brendan Rodgers excited by Celtic's latest addition
BRENDAN RODGERS has told Celtic supporters to prepare to be excited by Benjamin Nygren after the Sweden attacker signed a five-year deal with the Scottish champions. The 23-year-old former IFK Gothenburg and Genk player has joined the Hoops from Danish side Nordsjaelland for an undisclosed fee. Nygren made his Sweden debut in March of this year and has already scored two goals in four appearances for his country. 'We're delighted to have brought Benjamin to Celtic, and we're all looking forward to working with him,' Rodgers told the Celtic website. 'He's an exciting, quality player who will add to our attacking options in the squad. Advertisement 'He's a young player who has already gained plenty of experience at club level, while his impressive performances last season also saw him gain his first caps for Sweden. 'Joining Celtic is the next step up in his career, and having spoken to him, he's delighted to be here and is ready to take on the exciting challenges ahead at home and in Europe. 'He's a player that I'm sure our supporters will enjoy watching, and it's great to have him as part of our squad.' Nygren scored 15 goals for Nordsjaelland last season but views himself primarily as a creative player who can drive the team forward. 'I feel amazing to have signed for Celtic, it's so nice to be here,' he said. 'I've been looking forward to this so much. 'I'm a player who wants to create a lot of chances and go towards goal. I'm a link between the defence and the offence, and I can run a lot. I'm an offensive-minded player, but I also work hard and try to do my best in all parts of the game. 'I'm a very competitive person, and this is something that I love about Celtic. It's a huge club and I love that. And, also, the winning mentality. I want to be with similar-minded people who also love to win. 'I had my breakthrough when I was very young, so even though I'm 23 years old, I have played over 200 games. I have a lot of experience, and that's what I want to bring.' Nygren becomes Celtic's third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Scotland defender Kieran Tierney and goalkeeper Ross Doohan.
