Potential Celtic signing Moritz Jenz insists he's very much the modern centre-back. And he revealed his two footballing heroes are Jerome Boateng and Leonardo Bonucci.
The Lorient defender has emerged as a target for Ange Postecoglou and he looks set to join the Scottish Premiership champions on-loan for next season. Jenz signed a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 club only last season but his move to Britanny has proven a difficult one amid the club's battle with relegation - they narrowly escaped the drop in 2021/22 and are looking to reset again for the upcoming campaign.
Lorient now look prepared to ship the 23-year-old out for next term and multiple reports indicate Celtic are interested. And his previous comments suggest he'll be an ideal fit in Postecoglou's high-pressing, possession-based style of football. Jenz says there's nothing old-fashioned about his game - he sees himself as the first line of his side's attack - and it's one he models on German World Cup winner Boateng and Juventus hero Bonucci.
