Many Celtic fans have been talking about the latest video involving Patryk Klimala that emerged on social media recently.
The Celtic TV Twitter account recently posted a video of the striker and it had the Pole talking about his time at Parkhead so far and how things have been for him after lockdown. He also spoke about him gaining weight over the last few months and many more things too.
This tweet caught the attention of many Celtic fans. They seemed delighted and some lauded Klimala for having learned English quickly. Others were just impressed in general.
Seriously impressed with this lad, before lockdown could barely speak a word of English, has used the time away to bulk up and learn English to help him and the team ?? that’s what we want ???

Will Klimala score more than ten goals in the 2020/21 season?
Surely!
I don't think so
You only hope his commitment off the pitch is rewarded on it. From what I’ve seen so far, he’s bought in to the values of the club already and is turning in to a great professional ?

So impressed in how he’s gone about things, shows he really wants to be here and do well for the club. Nothing more you can ask for so far.

Clearly committed to the cause and has applied himself properly. Really looking forward to see what he can do ?

Klimala, who is valued at £3.24 million, had arrived at Parkhead from Polish club Jagiellonia Bialystok in the January transfer window. The Hoops had shelled out a fee of £3.60 million to acquire his services (via Transfermarkt).
Some other Celtic fans though were also pleased about Klimala’s interview and they made their delight very clear.
Wow he is keen to make impression…get in there Patryk ???

This is the attitude griffiths needed to adopt during lockdown and not eating kebabs after training

Polish Patryk will outscore Edouard next season. Mark my words https://t.co/QaAGQKv2Rw

He’s looking like he has bulked out a bit plus the English is a lot better here’s hoping he has a great injury free season.

Klimala did arrive in January, but he is yet to make a single Premiership start for the Hoops. He has made two appearances from the bench in the league, playing twice in the Scottish Cup as well, grabbing one assist in the competition (via Transfermarkt).
The fact that he directly contributed to 10 goals in 17 league appearances for Jagiellonia shows that he can be a reliable player for his club. Klimala speaking proper English could be a reflection of how he’s adapted to the new surroundings and is willing to make a mark in the Celtic first-team. So Hoops fans have every reason to be excited.
