# Celtic: Hoops set to make loan decision on Moritz Jenz

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) are set to make a decision on the future of Moritz Jenz at the end of the [Scottish Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) season, according to reports in the last 48 hours.**

### The Lowdown: Instant impact

The German arrived in Glasgow over the summer on a season-long loan from Lorient where he was [announced](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12654686/celtic-aaron-mooy-and-moritz-jenz-join-scottish-premiership-champions) in a double signing alongside Aaron Mooy, and there is an option to buy included.

The centre-back has made [ten](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/425018/Show/Moritz-Jenz) league starts out of a possible 15 so far this term which shows how much Ange Postecoglou values him at the heart of his backline, though where his future lies yet remains to be seen.

### The Latest: Celtic to make Jenz decision

According to [Football Scotland](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/celtic-202223-report-card-far-25578762), Celtic are aware that there’s a ‘decision to be made’ on Jenz’ next steps which is likely to be taken ‘in the summer’.

The Hoops know that the 23-year-old has ‘done well’ since his arrival, so will no doubt carefully weigh up their options come the end of the current campaign.

### The Verdict: Permanent contract deserved

Jenz has been [praised](https://twitter.com/buntingfootball/status/1558783167947046914?s=46&t=ehiwsj9RsTymszsmzi2PZQ) for his ‘stunning’ abilities by [Josh Bunting](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) and looking at his numbers after just the first phase of the season, a permanent contract would be fully deserved.

The 6 foot 2 colossus is averaging 2.4 aerial duels, 2.3 clearances and even has two goals to his name, highlighting the impact he can have at both ends of the pitch ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/425018/Show/Moritz-Jenz)).

Also recording a [90.7%](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/425018/Show/Moritz-Jenz) pass success rate, Jenz has a real calming nature on the ball and so extending his stay north of the border isn’t something the club should even have to think twice about.
