Celtic talent Saidy Janko went out on loan to Barnsley on transfer deadline day.
He made his debut for the Tykes in midweek v Wolves and came off the bench to score in an impressive 4-0 win from the Yorkshire club.
Janko, who can play on the wing or at full-back, has now been commenting on his move to Barnsley.
The Swiss talent was speaking to the Yorkshire Post when he mentioned how he was happy to be at Barnsley, as they play a similar style to his parent club.

He stated:
“I like to play right-back and right wing. But wherever the manager wants me to play, I am happy to and I can definitely help.
“The style here helps. It is similar to what we played at Celtic with pressing and attacking football. We try to play that here.”
The 20-year-old arrived at Celtic last summer with a burgeoning reputation. He was considered a top talent both at United and in his country, but he made a move to Glasgow in July 2015.

However, he struggled to have a regular impact at the club and was clearly not in the regular first-team plans of Brendan Rodgers at Parkhead.
But the fact he is now enjoying playing football similar to what Rodgers wants to implement at Celtic Park will be a big boost for the club.
Hopefully he can thrive with Barnsley and then return too Celtic ready for regular first-team action.
