Michel-Ange Balikwisha will be an “important player” for Celtic after signing with the Scottish champions from Royal Antwerp on a five-year deal.
Balikwisha, 24, has scored once in four matches this season and helped Antwerp win their first Belgian league title since 1957 in 2023.
Celtic will welcome more attacking options after they failed to score in either leg of their Champions League play-off defeat to Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty.
“He is a really talented, exciting player and with a good level of experience at a high level already, so he will be an important player for us moving forward,” said manager Brendan Rodgers.
“He loves to attack and can play both sides of the pitch so we are sure he will give the team some great options.
“Having spoken to Michel-Ange I know he is very excited about joining Celtic and he wants to be a big success with us, so we look forward to working with him.”
