Farai Dziva|Young Warriors sensation Kundai Benyu has left Celtic to join a Swedish club.

The 21-year-old midfielder has joined Helsingborgs IF on a loan deal until January 31, 2020. He had struggled for game time at Celtic, making just one league start since his arrival in August 2017.

The Swedish club, which got promoted into the top division last season, confirmed the transfer on Tuesday.

“HIF has agreed with Celtic FC for a loan transfer of midfielder Kundai Benyu. The contract runs until January 31, 2020,”Helsingborgs said in a statement on their website.

The player is happy with the move and has promised to make the best out of it.

“It feels like a good opportunity for me to play A-team football at a high level,” said Benyu.

“My teammate at Celtic, Mikael Lustig, told me that Helsingborgs is a big club, and this is a good opportunity for me. I wanted to come here from the moment I heard about the interest (from Helsingborgs).”

Quiet before the storm, the Young Warriors line up before a match.
