‘He will be just like Virgil van Dijk’ – Former Celtic star likens on-loan Leicester City centre-back Filip Benkovic to Liverpool ace
Former Celtic star Frank McAvennie believesFilip Benkovic will be ‘just like Virgil van Dijk‘ and wants the club to land him permanently.The Croatian is currently on loan from Leicester City and has impressed with his performances under Brendan Rodgers.2

Fillip Benkovic in action for Celtic this season.

The Hoops have only conceded six goals in the Scottish Premiership this season, despite losing star man Jason Denayer to Lyon in the summer.This has partly been down to the arrival of the 21-year-old from the King Power Stadium immediately after joining the Foxes from Dinamo Zagreb in a 13million deal.Manager Rodgers is already seeking to clarify the player’s future with Leicester having the possibility to recall him in January.2

McAvennie wants Benkovic to join Celtic permanently.

And McAvennie believes in Benkovic’s ability so much he wants the club to land him permanently in the knowledge he will go onto bigger and better things and earn Celtic a huge pay day.He told The Scottish Sun: I have always been a big advocate of getting the defence sorted out and getting a solid back four.Benkovic has come in and, boy, what a great player. Hes going to go all the way to the very top.He will be just like Virgil van Dijk and thats the type of players Celtic should be getting.I know Benkovic is on loan, but I would love for us to buy him.If you were to spend 15million on the boy now, you would get a minimum of 25million and also a few years out of him, plus an add-on when he moves on again.
