Chris Sutton reacts to the latest update on Filip Benkovic

On-loan defender Filip Benkovic is set to stay at Celtic for the remainder of the season.

Initially, there were worries that the player might be recalled in January but Claude Puel has confirmed that the player will continue his development in Scotland.

Benkovic has been a key player for Celtic this season and his departure would have been a massive blow for the side. The Scottish giants are in need of defensive reinforcements as it is and losing Benkovic would have been catastrophic.

The Leicester City defender is a prodigious talent and Celtic should look to sign him permanently if they can.
