Celtic snapped up the Scotland winger on a loan deal until the end of the season.
Oliver Burke has told The Glasgow Evening Times that he cannot wait to play in front of the ‘amazing’ Celtic fans at Parkhead.
Celtic signed the West Bromwich Albion winger on a short-term loan deal this past weekend.
Burke, who joined RB Leipzig from Nottingham Forest for £13 million in 2016 [BBC Sport], has never played for a Scottish club and therefore has never faced the Hoops.
But the 21-year-old, who has five caps for Scotland, claims that he cannot wait to sample the famous energy of Paradise.
“I have never been to Celtic Park. That’s what I’m really excited to do. I have heard the fans are amazing so I’m dying to see that,” he told The Glasgow Evening Times.
If all goes well, Burke could be a superb addition for Celtic.
He might have struggled in Germany, and even more so at West Brom, but he is clearly a huge talent and it’ll be interesting to see if a man-manager of Brendan Rodgers’s talents can get the best out of him in Glasgow.
The Kirkcaldy-born star only turns 22 in April, meaning that there is still plenty of time to improve and with a bit of luck, he’ll do just that under Rodgers.
