Celtic are looking to strike a deal to sign defender Erik Sviatchenko

Celtic have completed the signing of Danish defender Erik Sviatchenko from FC Midtjylland on a four-and-a-half year deal.

The Hoops are believed to have paid £1.5million for the 24-year-old Denmark international.

Speaking to the Celtic website, Sviatchenko said: “I am so happy to join Celtic, such a fantastic club and such a huge name in football. This is a club with a wonderful pedigree and a massive support.

“I will do everything I can to bring success to Celtic. It means so much to me to join a winning club, to join a club that goes for and wins trophies and wants to play in the Champions League.

“I have had a taste of winning with Midtjylland and I want more of this feeling at Celtic. When you play football, you want to be remembered for winning and I want to be remembered as a winner with Celtic.

“I know we have a squad of really talented players and I can’t wait to get started, team up with them and get to work.”

Ronny Deila has been chasing Sviatchenko’s signature since Virgil van Dijk left Parkhead in the summer and the Hoops have reportedly beaten a number of other clubs to the signature. English sides Stoke, West Brom, Sunderland and Norwich had all been linked with the defender, as well as Bundesliga duo Hamburg and Stuttgart.
