Benjamin Arthur

Benjamin Arthur has had a limited but visible role for Celtic in the Premiership, making 4 league appearances, including 3 starts, without a goal or a card. Added to his 2 Scottish Cup outings, the profile is of a young central defender being used as squad depth rather than a fixed first-choice option – but the starts suggest he has been trusted for more than late-game minutes.

Arthur’s rating data is respectable for a young defender in a small sample, with a season average of 6.88 and a range from 6.32 to 7.47. The spread suggests some fluctuation, which is expected given his age and limited appearances, but the upper mark shows he has already produced at least one clearly positive performance.

The transfer record shows Peterborough United signing Arthur in 2022, Brentford taking him for an undisclosed fee in 2023, and Celtic bringing him in on loan in February 2026. That pattern is consistent with a player whose value is still being assessed – not a major-fee signing, but a development defender being moved into more demanding environments.
