Several clubs were interested in the services of the 24-year-old such as Leece and Herenveen, but Twente have won the race.
Heading to the Netherlands is an exciting prospect for Lagerbielke, who is looking to get his career back on track following a difficult first year at Celtic.
The defender is looking forward to his loan spell in Holland.
“When I heard about FC Twente’s interest, I was immediately interested”, he said (fctwente.nl).
“After my conversation with the coach, I got a good idea of the plans and I wanted to go to FC Twente.
“Next season I hope to play as much as possible and to finish as high as possible in the league with FC Twente.
“Of course, I am also looking forward to the comPetitions in Europe.”
After losing to RB Salzburg in the third round of Champions League qualifiers, it was confirmed Twente will play in the Europa League for 2024/25.
Getting European minutes will serve Lagerbielke well, and the chance to play continental Football was perhaps a key reason why he chose Twente over other clubs.
The Parkhead faithful will keep a close eye on his progress throughout the new season.
