Celtic have signed Jeremie Frimpong from Manchester City.

The 18-year-old defender, who can play left back and left midfield, spent the past three seasons with the City youth setup.

He was a part of the team that reached the quarters of the EFL Trophy last term.

But he now has a chance to star in Scotland after signing a four-year deal with the reigning champions.

"It feels amazing to have joined Celtic. What a massive club to be [a] part of," he told the official Celtic website after completing his move.

"I'm just lucky to have been picked and I'm grateful for everything. I'm just happy to be here and I just want to get on the pitch and show the fans everything that I've got.

"I'm looking forward to training with my new team-mates and getting to know them. They've got more experience than me, so I'm hoping they'll be able to help me as a player.

"I started going on YouTube to watch Celtic, and when they were on TV, I watched the games. I watched Sunday's match against Rangers. What a game! Celtic were brilliant and deserved to win.

"Now I can't wait to play at Celtic Park in front of the fans. Hopefully when I get on the pitch and do something good, I'll hear the noise for me."
