Arsenal defender Rob Holding’s message to Nathaniel Phillips after Celtic loan move from Liverpool
The £64,615-a-week (Spotrac) defender has joined the Hoops on a loan deal from Liverpool until January 2024.
Arsenal central defender Holding is among those who have wished the 26-year-old central defender well at Celtic.
Phillips is an excellent defender, but he was not given enough opportunities in the Liverpool first team.
When he did play for Jurgen Klopp’s team, the 26-year-old was quite good and did his job effectively.
Phillips is an excellent defender who knows how to defend and does not waste time.
Celtic are one of the most powerful clubs in the world.
This season, the Hoops will compete in the UEFA Champions League in addition to winning the Scottish Premiership.
Phillips has experience playing in Europe with Liverpool, which will be beneficial to Celtic.
The defender had his greatest season with Liverpool in 2020-21, making 20 games, three of which were in the Champions League.
Due to injury concerns, Phillips was given his shot.
Celtic, on the other hand, should have faith in the defense.
Phillips has made 19 Premier League appearances in his career.
In those games, the 26-year-old has one goal, one assist, and seven clean sheets.
