Celtic have announced the signing of defender Gustaf Lagerbielke from Elfsborg on a five-year deal.
The 23-year-old arrives from IF Elfsborg in a deal worth around £3m following the departure of fellow Swedish defender Carl Starfelt who left for LaLiga side Celta Vigo.
Lagerbielke - who will wear the No 4 jersey at Celtic Park - made 16 appearances in the Swedish league this season and won his first international cap in January, playing in a friendly win over Iceland.
Following his move he revealed his excitement at following the footsteps of his "inspiration" Virgil van Dijk.
"Virgil van Dijk, who has been here before, is a huge inspiration," Lagerbielke said in his first media conference at Celtic Park.
"Also how he is outside of the pitch, he is very professional and keen on getting better all the time. And on the pitch of course with his leadership, duelling and passing, he is a really good player.
