Celtic boss Deila convinced Man City defender Denayer can be worldbeater

Celtic boss Ronny Deila is delighted with their swoop for Manchester City defender Jason Denayer.

The young Belgian has joined the Hoops on-loan.

"I think we could get an option to buy Jason," said Deila, "but I don't think we have enough money.

"Jason is going to be worth a *lot* of money. He is already worth a lot of money.

"Is he a player worth £6m or £7m right now? I'd say he's worth more, maybe £10m."

Asked if Denayer could become worth £15m-£20m, Deila added: "Yes, he could. He's a very good player and he will have a great future - people will see it when he plays."
