Welcome to Celtic Holmbert Fridjonsson

STV understands the 20-year-old has agreed personal terms on a three-year contract and will officially join from Fram when the January transfer window opens.

Fridjonsson is in Scotland and will formally complete his £100,000 move within the next 24 hours. Celtic also have the option to extend his contract for a fourth year.

Although he is unable to formally conclude his transfer until January, the Iceland Under-21 international, who scored 12 goals in 23 appearances for his club in the 2013 season, will begin training with Neil Lennon's side at the start of December.

His representative, Olafur Gardarsson, spoke to STV on Tuesday, with the player himself reluctant to talk until his deal is concluded on Wednesday.

"He is a striker that scores goals," said Gardarsson. "I think he is a very promising player, to say the least.

"He is very delighted. He went on trial with a club in Holland and he liked it there. But he liked it here. He felt very welcome and he obviously was liked by [Neil] Lennon, so he is very pleased.

"He is confident. He knows he has to work hard and the season in Iceland was over two months ago. So he is not match fit. He knows he has to work hard and it is not easy to walk into a club like Celtic. But he will do his best."
Despite the player's relative inexperience, Celtic boss Lennon believes he is capable of pushing immediately for a spot in the first team after watching him at close quarters during a trial last month.

"He is one for the present," Lennon said last week. "He is a good player for his age, a good size, we had him in for a week's trial and were hugely impressed by him.

"It is not a huge outlay but we think he is a player who will get better and at 20, he has very good potential.

"Technically he is very good, he is excellent in the air, he leads the line very well and, for the Scottish game, he likes the physical side of thing as well."

Every time we sign a striker over six foot I get a bit excited that we may have finally signed a genuine target man. Hopefully this is the one who has real aerial ability.

Edit: After watching the video above he looks big enough to handle the rough side of our league and it's interesting that he seems to be a left footer! I hope he can make the step up!

 

3 year contract,hmm must be rated highly.

Looking forward to seeing him,should be ready to go with his season just ending.

 

Welcome

 

I'm quite excited by this.

 

Good luck

 

Never heard of the guy. Let's hope he's any good ofcourse. Welcome aboard.

 

True.

Hopefully another scouting success story. And also in an area where we're lacking. That's good he gets to train with us from December. He'll be hopefully settled and ready to go for January.

cool.

 

Weclome.

 

Meant to quote my own post and ended up editing it instead, * painkillers are frying my nut. :smiley-laughing002:

 

elaborate please,there's a story in that post

 

what kind of pain killers ?

 

Got like super toothache today, I've had what I thought was toothache for the last few weeks, couple of paracetamol and all was good.

Then today I take a bite of a roll and sausage and ended up with some of the worst pain I've ever had. 4 paracetamol and 4 ibuprofen and it still wasn't taking the pain away.

Phoned the doctor and got some dihydrocodeine (DF's).

Been swallowing them like smarties and having a few beers and I'm wired tae the moon. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Looking forward to seeing this guy and what he's got,certainly has the attributes and has Something..

Like how Lenny said he for the present..

Welcome in big man..
