""He is a really talented, exciting player and with a good level of experience at a high level already, so he will be an important player for us moving forward. He loves to attack and can play both sides of the pitch so we are sure he will give the team some great options. Having spoken to Michel-Ange I know he is very excited about joining Celtic and he wants to be a big success with us, so we look forward to working with him.""
""For me, it's the right move because it's a big club, they play well and they dominate the league. I'm a player who likes to press and to give everything so I think it's the right choice to come here to continue like I did at my former club. I'm here to help the team, to get some trophies, to play in Europe and win everything, so that's why I'm here.""
Michel-Ange Balikwisha, 24, signed a five-year contract with Celtic after moving from Royal Antwerp. He has scored once in four matches this season and helped Antwerp secure their first Belgian league title since 1957 in 2023. Balikwisha is a Belgian under-21 international who progressed through Standard Liège's youth system before joining Antwerp in 2021. He prefers to attack, can play on both wings, presses intensely and offers versatile attacking options. Celtic failed to score in their Champions League play-off defeat to Kairat Almaty and may include Balikwisha in the upcoming Old Firm match pending clearance. He is intent on winning trophies and playing in Europe.
