Celtic midfielder Joël van den Berg faces possible January loan move

Summary

Celtic's 19-year-old midfielder Joël van den Berg, signed for £3.4 million from PSV Eindhoven, has yet to debut for the team amid a strong domestic performance. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has established a successful midfield, leaving limited opportunities for van den Berg, who has appeared in only two matchday squads. Speculation regarding a potential loan move in January is growing, although sources have not confirmed this. Former player Glen Loovens believes van den Berg should be given more time to settle into Scottish football before any decisions are made.
