The Sierra Leone striker, 22, signed a four-year deal when he moved from Swedish side AIK Stockholm last month with the fee reportedly £2million.

Bangura is in line to make his Hoops debut in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Motherwell at Celtic Park this afternoon.

However, he is keen for his career to progress further than the SPL and hopes a good season in Scotland can attract the attention of clubs in England, Spain and Italy.

"Coming to Celtic is a good move for me, but I want to reach the top," Bangura told a number of newspapers.

"That's what I'm working towards and this is a step forward for me. I am still fighting to reach the highest level.

"To come to Celtic gives me a good feeling because it's another step in my career.

"I have to work to get to the top. I'm talking about the Spanish league, the English league or maybe the Italian league.

"If I can do my best here with Celtic then I will see what the future holds.

'If possible, I could make the next step in one year - if everything goes well and the club is willing, why not?"
