Rodgers said: "Pusey is a very talented young player. Obviously, he comes from Manchester City's youth training system, and his characteristics are very consistent with our needs for central defenders. He is fast, has suppression and excellent defensive ability. Of course, at the Celtics, we require central defenders to have the ability to play ball, which is an important advantage for him."

"So, we loaned him for a season. We always need enough central defenders at the Celtics because we have to play a lot of games and the intensity of the game is very high, and he will join our lineup."

"But Pusey is currently in a slightly behind in the current state because he doesn't play many games throughout the preseason. But we have brought him to prepare for the next season, and hope this deal will be finalized soon."
