Hinkel signing confirmed

Celtic have beefed up their defence by confirming the signing of Germany international Andreas Hinkel from Spanish side Sevilla.
The 25-year-old, capped 17 times for his country, has joined The Bhoys on a three-and-a-half year deal from the Andalucian outfit after struggling to establish himself at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
The Glasgow side have not disclosed how much they paid for the former Stuttgart player, but a figure of close to £2 million has been quoted.
"I am delighted to sign for Celtic Football Club and am really looking forward to joining up with my new team-mates,” Hinkel told the club’s official website.
"Celtic is a great club with a great history, having achieved such success at home and in Europe. It is a great honour to join the club and I hope to play an important part in the club's future over the next few years.

welcome to the site

 

such good news calls for some *ing:bbpd:

 

Certainly on paper this looks like a very good signing. He is 25 so a good age. The fee seems reasonable for a player with his credentials. Hopefully Hinkel will work out as he looks like he could be a very good player for us if he settles into life in Glasgow.
