Celtic midfielder Kundai Benyu has said he would consider making his stay in Sweden permanent.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Helsingborgs, and before that he had a stint with Oldham Athletic.

Benyu has only ever made four appearances for the Bhoys and will be out of contract in the summer of 2021.

When asked about his future, he told Expressen: “I haven’t heard anything or had any conversations about it yet, but we’ll take it when it comes.

“Had the contract expired now and you had asked me today, I would have definitely considered staying. I feel good here, developing as a player and feel like part of the team.”

TBR’s view

Benyu’s time at Celtic is surely up, with many midfield options available to Neil Lennon at Parkhead.

He simply will not get a sniff with the likes of Scott Brown, Callum McGregor, Tom Rogic, Ryan Christie, Olivier Ntcham and Nir Bitton all in the mix.

The youngster has essentially been as non-existant at the club as Marvin Compper was before he left earlier this summer.

Benyu’s time at Helsingborgs hasn’t been impressive, and Bhoys officials should be helping him on his way.
