‘Gone By Next Summer’ ’25Million? Aye!’ Fans React As Celtic Midfielder Makes Frank Admission About EPL Interest

Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley has admitted that he was being pursued by Leicester and Newcastle during the summer transfer window.

The 21-year-old has also been linked with moves to Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, and while the player insists he is happy at Parkhead, fans on Twitter don’t expect him to stay at the club very long:

Much will depend on whether English Premier League sides are willing to meet Celtic’s asking price. The Scottish champions were thought to be looking for around £15m to £20m in the summer but that may increase if he has an impressive season, both domestically and in Europe.

The Hoops did fantastically well to bring in the Danish Under 21 international for just £1.5m last January and they will make a huge profit if and when he leaves Glasgow.

If O’Riley’s recent comments are anything to go by, it doesn’t look like he will force through a move away from Celtic Park which suggests he may at least stay until the end of the season.
