Celtic are delighted to announce the signing of Egyptian international winger, Haissem Hassan from Real Oviedo on a four-year deal with the option of a further year, subject to international clearance.
The 24-year-old, who was in impressive form for Egypt during the recent World Cup, becomes the latest addition to Martin O’Neill’s squad and will wear the number 23 jersey for the Scottish Champions.
Born in France, he began his professional career with Châteauroux before moving to Spain in 2020 to join Villarreal.
He went on to gain further experience with Mirandés and Sporting Gijón before signing for Real Oviedo in the summer of 2024.
Hassan played an important role as Oviedo secured promotion to La Liga during his first season at the club and featured regularly in the Spanish top flight last term.
Now, after completing his move to Glasgow, the winger is looking forward to beginning the latest chapter of his career in the Hoops.
Haissem Hassan said: “It is a great moment and a real honour for me to join Celtic, a phenomenal club with such a brilliant history and wonderful supporters.
