New signing Oliver Sorensen wants to make his loan stay at Celtic a permanent one.

The Danish midfielder joined the club on loan from Parma, with an option for a full transfer next summer.

Sorensen featured in Celtic's 3-0 win over Aberdeen after a busy few days completing his move. He said: "It was nice to be able to play this early.

"It's been a hectic few days, but I'm very happy to be here and so far only good impressions."

The 23-year-old believes his energetic style can bring a fresh approach to Celtic's midfield. "I like to attack also, late runs in the box, so I think this will suit me well," he said.

"I'm ready to work for the team and hopefully nick a few goals also. I think I'm a different profile than most of the midfielders now. I'm more like a running player and all of them are good dictators of the game.

"I think I bring maybe a different dynamic."

Sorensen spoke with former Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko before agreeing to the move. "He said to me it was a no-brainer and I should go for sure," He added.

"He said it was a great club, a big club with a lot of history and big expectations, which I like."

Sorensen is keen for Celtic to activate their purchase option. When asked if he wants to stay, he said: "Yeah, 100 per cent. I hope to do my best this season and make the deal permanent if I play well enough.

"I want to stay."
