Moritz Jenz - Plenty to work on but much to work with (thecelticstar.com)

A year after initial links to Lorient defender Moritz Jenz first emerged it appears the 6ft 2 central defender may be about to head to Celtic on a loan deal ...

Yet despite this, errors leading to goals and shots conceded over the course of the season come out very low indeed, so perhaps there is a solid defender in Jenz who simply need a more attacking environment for his skill to be best utilised. There is an understandable reaction to look at this signing as a cheap option, with the majority of Celtic’s budget already having been spent. He perhaps is not someone you’d say would immediately fit in without some extensive coaching, but there is an argument he could swim rather than sink if called upon to be thrown into Celtic’s team whilst Carl Starfelt recovers from injury. Therefore, interceptions and starting attacks may well be something Jenz will be able to bring to the fore at Celtic, rather than the deep lying defensive attributes he may have required working on at Lorient. In terms of strengthening a squad you can see Jenz may be a player Ange Postecoglou would be interested in, and indeed may well fancy his chances when it comes to ironing out defensive deficiencies. If you’re convinced of something, then try to be the best at it and do your thing, even if others want to stop you from doing it.

The 23-year-old defender arrives as Ange Postecoglou's latest addition and will provide serious competition for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt.

Formerly on the books at Fulham, Jenz previously impressed for Lausanne-Sport before heading to Ligue 1. The 23-year-old has signed a season-long loan but Celtic have the option to buy at the end of the season. Moritz emerged as a target this week with reports in his homeland claiming Lorient were keen to move him on after a difficult first year in Ligue 1.
