Maryan Shved has completed his move to Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic, says Fabriciano Gonzalez.

Karpaty Lviv manager Fabriciano Gonzalez has said that Maryan Shved is joining Celtic, as quoted in The Scottish Sun.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers recently told BBC Sport that the club are in talks to secure the services of Shved from Lviv in the January transfer window.

According to The Scottish Sun, the Ukraine international winger will cost the Hoops a transfer fee of £1.75 million.

Lviv manager Gonzalez has said that the deal to send Shved to Celtic is now complete.

The Scottish Sun quotes Gonzalez as saying about Shved: “We are happy with the transfer. The deal is complete. He is a football player of the Carpathians, so it is a joy for everyone here.”

Gonzalez added: “As a result of his dedication and hard work, he is moving to Celtic – one of the strongest clubs in Europe.

“It’s a great move for him and it’s a great deal for us because of the financial boost involved.”

Good signing for Celtic

Shved is only 21 years of age, and it is clear that the Ukraine international winger is not the finished article yet.

It is hard to see the youngster break into the Celtic starting lineup rightaway, and perhaps he should be sent out on loan to another club in the Scottish Premiership or even in the Scottish Championship.

The youngster has a strong reputation in his native Ukraine, and Celtic Park faithful should be optimistic about the 21-year-old becoming a big name in the Scottish Premiership in the coming years.
