Joel Mvuka (age 23) is a Norwegian wide player who has worked mainly on the right and came to Celtic in February 2026 from Lorient. He is still at the developing stage of his career rather than the finished article, with his value sitting at around £1.5 million according to Transfermarkt.
Mvuka first made his mark at Bodo/Glimt, where his best league return came in 2023 with three goals in 12 appearances. That spell gave his career a bit of shape and led him on to Lorient before Celtic moved for him.
By 2026 he had added two league appearances, and he had also featured twice in the Eliteserien for Bodo/Glimt. The numbers are still modest, which fits the broader picture: a young winger with some grounding in Norway, a move to France behind him, and now a chance to build the next part of his career at Celtic.
