Filip Benkovic says Celtic supporters can expect a full-blooded approach by him.
Filip Benkovic has told Celtic’s official website that he’ll ‘give blood’ for the club after joining the Hoops on loan.
Celtic signed the 21-year-old centre-back on loan from Premier League side Leicester City, who only paid £13 million to sign Benkovic in January.
The Croatia international will now spend the next nine months with Brendan Rodgers’s side, and he says that fans of the Parkhead club can expect complete commitment from him.
He told the Bhoys’ website: “I will promise that I will do my best in every game and every training session. I know I can improve in my game as I want to reach as highest level as possible so I will give all my blood to this club. This is all can promise.”
Quite a lot of Celtic fans will love Benkovic’s comments.
They come in the wake of Moussa Dembele’s departure, and on the back of a transfer saga which saw Dedryck Boyata try and fail to leave the Scottish giants.
So to hear Benkovic saying what he did must be refreshing for Celtic supporters.
Rodgers’s side host Old Firm rivals Rangers at Ibrox tomorrow and it’ll be interesting to see whether the big defender goes straight into the first XI. It would be something of a baptism of fire if he does, but impressing would stand him in very good stead to thrive in Glasgow.
