Former Celtic hero Erik Sviatchenko looks set to swap Europe for North America - with the Danish defender closing in on a reported move to MLS outfit Houston Dynamo.
Sviatchenko joined Celtic in the 2015-16 season under Ronny Deila, and instantly hit the ground running with a Scottish Premiership title under in his first season, making 14 appearances and scoring one goal. However, it was his next season - under Brendan Rodgers after Deila had departed the club - that he began to blossom. 43 appearances in all competitions and one goal as Celtic charged on to an unprecedented treble in Rodgers' first season with 106 points from a possible 114 saw Sviatchenko become a fans favourite at Celtic Park - though that was to end prematurely as he moved back to hometown club FC Midtjylland.
He has enjoyed a fruitful return to the Danish Superliga side, winning two league titles since, but now a shock switch to the MLS is in the offing. A report by USA-based journalist Tom Bogert claims that his form in Denmark has alerted teams across the globe - with Houston Dynamo plumping for his signature.
