Celtic Seal Deadline-Day Loan for Brentford Defender Benjamin Arthur

The 20-year-old arrives to bolster a back line thinned by Cameron Carter-Vickers' season-ending injury.

Overview

  • Celtic confirmed the signing of Benjamin Arthur on loan from Brentford until the end of the season.
  • Arthur said he is honoured to join and ready for the challenges ahead, speaking in his first interview after the deal was completed.
  • Manager Martin O’Neill welcomed the addition, highlighting Arthur’s height, strength and speed as assets for the run-in.
  • The move could allow Stephen Welsh to return to Motherwell on loan, with an agreement in principle dependent on Celtic securing cover now met.
  • Celtic also completed a loan for Junior Adamu earlier on deadline day, while reports indicated Joel Mvuka’s arrival was still expected before the cutoff.
