HATEM Abd Elhamed has promised to add to Celtic's attacking style of play after agreeing a four-year deal with the Scottish champions.

The 28-year-old right-back today completed his move from Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva for a fee which could rise to £1.5m.

Elhamed becomes Neil Lennon's fourth signing of the summer and will watch tonight's Champions League qualifier against Nomme Kalju of Estonia.

He said: "It is an absolute honour to sign for this great club, one of the world’s truly great football clubs and I could not be happier.

“When you play football you want to climb to the top and be the best you can be, and I know that I have found the best place for me - a club that has a tradition of playing quick, attacking, exciting and successful football and I am delighted that I am going to be part of this.”

"Celtic is my club now and I want to do all I can to continue to bring success to our supporters. I know the Celtic fans are the best around and I can’t wait to meet them, to pull on the famous Celtic jersey and play in front of them. I will give everything to the club.”

Celtic manager Lennon added: “We are really pleased to bring Hatem to Celtic, another player we think can make an important contribution to the club.

“He is a player with real attributes, he is strong and quick and I have been impressed with what I have seen of him. We look forward to welcoming him to Celtic and joining up with the squad.”
