Since he broke into the Australian u-17 squad it has been almost inevitable that Daniel Arzani would move to Europe with the UK the most likely destination.
Manchester via Glasgow seems the likely route for the teenager who appeared in all three of Australia’s World Cup matches.
If he wanted any background about what to expect Tom Rogic and Jackson Irvine could certainly give him the low-down on what to expect on and off the park in Glasgow.
International team-mates Rogic and Jackson both settled quickly to life in Glasgow with a little Australian enclave building up with Leo Mazis joining Celtic earlier this year.
While Mazis takes his time to develop Arzani will be expected to make an instant impact but with Celtic well covered in the forward and wing areas he may have to be patient.
Manchester City’s level of spending makes it highly unlikely that Arzani will be pushing for a place in Pep’s first XI next season which could open the door to a second season on loan at Celtic provided things work out well this season.
