FC Twente look set to try and turn their loan move of Celtic defender Gustaf Lagerbielke into a permanent £1.75million deal this week.

The 24-year-old centre-back was shipped out on loan to the Eredivisie at the start of the season and broke into the Twente Enschede team after initially struggling for game time.

He's become an important player for the Dutch side and Twente sports director Arnold Bruggink is reportedly set to approach the Scottish champions this week to try and seal a deal to make the move permanent.

Lagerbielke, who cost Celtic £4m when he signed in 2023, has made a big impact at Twente and even won an international recall with Sweden.

He netted his first goal for the club last week in a 3-2 win at Malmo in the Europa League and Twente wants to keep the stopper.
