Egypt's Hassan joins Celtic on initial four-year deal
Celtic sign winger Haissem Hassan from Real Oviedo on a four-year contract with the option of a further year.
Celtic has signed Egyptian winger Haissem Hassan on a four-year contract, with the option to extend it by a year. The 24-year-old, who is left-footed but often plays on the right side, impressed during Egypt's run to the World Cup quarter-finals, where he scored a decisive pass against Argentina. Hassan played just 126 minutes at the tournament due to registration issues but made an impact as a substitute, helping Egypt secure a penalty shootout win over Australia and torment Argentina in a controversial match.
Celtic's manager, Martin O'Neill, praised the signing, stating that Hassan brings quality and experience to the squad. The deal comes as Celtic prepares for an important Champions League play-off against LASK. Other recent signings for the club include Denmark striker Kasper Hogh and Colombian forward Camilo Duran.
