Filip Benkovic is impressing Celtic fans and management alike.
Arriving on loan from Leicester in the summer, the central defender has been eased into the side by manager Brendan Rodgers.
With just the three appearances under his belt for the Hoops, the Croat has looked calm and assured in the heart of the defensive line.
Considering his tender age of 21, Benkovic appears to be one of the most heavily fancied prospects in European football.
His £13 million arrival at Leicester in the summer saw Benkovic make one Foxes appearance in the League Cup, before Celtic moved for the centre-half in August.
Leicester reportedly have the option to bring Benkovic back to England halfway through the season, but the man himself isn’t letting that fact get to him.
Quoted by the Celtic Star, Benkovic said:
I’m only concentrating on Celtic. My goal is to win the title here and make progress as a player,
The undisturbed vision of Benkovic may come as welcome news to Celtic fans, with their star defender only worrying about winning the league.
