Postecoglou to Unleash £25m Tottenham Star against Aston Villa as Long-Term Plan Revealed

Celtic Boss Set to Field New Signing in Upcoming Match

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that new signing Aaron Hickey will make his debut against Aston Villa on Saturday. The £25 million defender joined from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week and is expected to slot straight into the starting lineup.

Postecoglou Excited About Hickey's Potential

Postecoglou is excited about the potential of his new signing. "Aaron is a fantastic player," he said. "He's still young, but he has a lot of experience for his age. He's a very versatile player who can play in a number of positions, and I'm sure he will be a valuable asset to our team."

Hickey is a product of the Tottenham academy and has been capped by Scotland at youth level. He made his Premier League debut last season and has impressed with his performances for the Under-23s.

Hickey to Play Left-Back Against Villa

Postecoglou has confirmed that Hickey will play at left-back against Villa. "He's a natural left-back," he said. "He's very comfortable on the ball and he's good at getting forward. I think he'll be a good fit for our team."

Hickey's arrival is a major boost for Celtic, who have been looking to strengthen their defense. The Scottish champions have conceded 10 goals in their last five matches and will be looking to Hickey to help them tighten up.

Postecoglou's Long-Term Plan Revealed

Postecoglou's decision to sign Hickey is part of his long-term plan for Celtic. The Australian coach wants to build a young, hungry team that can compete for trophies both domestically and in Europe.

"We want to build a team that is capable of winning trophies," he said. "We want to be a team that plays with a certain style and that excites our fans. I think Aaron can be a big part of that."

Hickey is the latest in a number of young players that Postecoglou has brought to Celtic. The club has also signed Matt O'Riley, Reo Hatate, and Daizen Maeda in recent months.

Postecoglou is confident that these young players can help Celtic achieve their goals. "They're all very talented players," he said. "They're all hungry to succeed. I'm excited to see what they can achieve with Celtic."
