Benjamin Nygren has been urged to stay at Celtic by Swedish icon Thomas Brolin, who believes the attacking midfielder should continue his development at Parkhead despite expected transfer interest.
Nygren's Impressive Debut Season
The 24-year-old scored 21 goals in all competitions as Celtic clinched a dramatic Premiership title win over Hearts on the final day, followed by Scottish Cup glory. Nygren also starred in Sweden's 5-1 thrashing of Tunisia, leading the line alongside Arsenal's Viktor Gykores and Liverpool's Alexander Isak—a strike force valued at £190 million.
Brolin's Advice
Speaking to Hajper, Brolin said: "What is best for Benjamin Nygren? I have no idea. He has had a fantastic development curve at Celtic and it is probably fantastic to stay there and continue that development curve until the next step when he is ready. Whether that is this year or next year or whatever, I actually don't know. But, his curve has been very positive, so then it can be good to stay in the same place for a while longer too."
Brolin's Celtic Regret
Brolin, a former Leeds United star, also revealed his regret over never playing for Celtic himself, inspired by close friend Henrik Larsson's success at the club. "Henrik Larsson thrived very well at Celtic anyway. So I probably would have thrived at Celtic too since I know Henrik very well and he thrived very well at Celtic. So if I were to choose like this in hindsight, which is very strange, then Celtic sounds like a good club," Brolin added.
