Celtic midfielder Kundai Benyu has joined Swedish outfit Helsingborgs on a year-long loan deal, as reported by Sky Sports.
On a day of dramatic new at Celtic Park, the exit of Benyu will not be seen as a big deal to supporters, but is nonetheless an intriguing move for a player who barely had a first-team look in under Brendan Rodgers.
The 21-year-old has had a previous spell on loan away from the club, joining Oldham Athletic, but that move did not result in much first-team action, making just four appearances.
The midfield prospect is excited about the transfer, telling Sky Sports:
I have a very good feeling. It feels like a good opportunity for me to continuously play A-team football at a high level.
My team-mate in Celtic, Mikael Lustig, told me that Helsingborg is a big club and that this was a good opportunity for me so I wanted to come here from the moment I heard about the interest. I have heard that the club has good supporters so I look forward to impressing them and showing what I can.
Benyu has made just four competitive appearances for the Hoops, starting two matches, both of which came in wins against Kilmarnock.
With little chance of him breaking into a talented Celtic midfield, the move to Sweden will at least give him an opportunity to win a move elsewhere, either on a permanent basis at Helsingborgs or at another club.
Hopefully he gets the football he wants and impresses.
