da dobrowin: As reported by The Daily Record, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has ruled out the prospect of sending new arrival Kundai Benyu out on loan this summer.
What’s the story?
da spicy bet: Benyu was Rodgers’ second summer signing and impressed supporters on Saturday with his dynamic display in a friendly against French side Lyon at Celtic Park.
Despite his recent arrival, it seems that the Celtic boss was considering sending him out on loan to gain vital first team experience.
As quoted by The Daily Record, Rodgers said:
We will see how he develops. Initially the plan was to have him in, thinking he can get an idea of how we work and then go on loan. But I’ve sort of changed my mind, really, over the last period of time just watching him. I think it’s going to be good for him to probably come in and have six months in here to see how we train, how we work, get an education in our footballing idea then review in January and see where he is at.
Sending young players out on loan when they arrive at a club isn’t unheard of, although it’s not something Celtic have done much of in the past. It’ll be heartening for Hoops fans to hear that Benyu is making a big impression behind the scenes at Lennoxtown and impressing his new manager.
A player who was initially thought to be one for the future, supporters may be seeing him in the first team in competitive action sooner rather than later.
