Moritz Jenz desperate for permanent Celtic transfer as he reveals the Real Madrid trait Parkhead possesses

Moritz Jenz wants to continue feeling huge pressure and listening to Depeche Mode every other weekend as he opens up on his Celtic transfer hope.

The defender is currently on a season-long loan from Ligue 1 club Lorient but that could be made permanent come the end of the season. He is in competition with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt, Stephen Welsh and Yuki Kobayashi for two centre-back berths in Ange Postecoglou's side, and while making 19 appearances overall, he hasn't played since the World Cup break.

It's clear to Jenz though that he wants to remain in Glasgow after memories like swapping shirts with German legend and Real Madrid hero Toni Kroos in the Champions League, on top of Celtic's 'Just Can't Get Enough' anthem blaring through the Parkhead PA system. He told Fussbal Woche: "As soon as you're here, you know that it's something different. This club is old school and a bit mystical. The fans bleed for the club and as a player you represent a huge story.

"You feel it to the core roof (when Depeche Mode's Just Can't Get Enough comes on). The atmosphere is brutal and dynamic. Watching Celtic should be on everyone's bucket list for life. It feels like playing for Real Madrid – only in Scotland. Celtic would be my first choice but you can't control it yourself in football."
