KIERAN EDGING CLOSER TO EXIT
FROM BACK PAGE had weighed in with an enormous £25million offer for the full-back, three weeks after failing with an initial offer of £15m.
But Record Sport understands not only does the latest bid not match Celtic’s valuation but it is structured on a series of staggered clauses and trigger points that could pump his price tag up over time depending on his success at the Emirates.
However, Unai Emery is getting closer to landing the player after urging his club to significantly improve their opening offer. It’s expected talks will continue this week while Napoli are also monitoring his situation.
A source said: “Even if Celtic wanted to sell Kieran, which they don’t, they do not have a single acceptable offer on the table.” believe Arsenal have bid £25 million for a player who is not fit? Come on, pull the other one.”
said: “I watched the friendly against Rennes and while Christopher Jullien looks a class act I have to say Luca Connell looked dreadful. I thought the same about Boli Mbombo the other night.
“Whoever is scouting these players simply isn’t doing their job right. There is mediocrity all the way through our side and Scott Sinclair gets worse by the game. I fear for the season ahead.”
On to Rangers now and said: “Rangers’ debt is said to be worse than ever now and the club are reporting a loss for every year it has operated. Isn’t it about time the more responsible supporters started asking questions about this reckless spending of cash they don’t have?”
said: “Rangers have signed a defender for £3.5m. That is great news for Celtic. If Rangers spending splurge continues apace then Administration II is surely on the cards.”
said: “I see Rangers’ new defender Filip Helander has wasted no time in saying he is here to fill his trophy cabinet.
‘If Celtic play both Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths up front then the only thing Helander will be filling is his underwear!”
Finally said: “I was hopeful the SFA would ensure our first televised competitive match of the season would be adequately managed. No such luck as we started from where we left off last season with inconsistencies and double standards.
“I know there are new rules in place but I was totally unaware of the one that says if a player is booked for a specific offence (i.e. rugby tackle) then no others will be. It was another horrendous performance by Kevin Clancy to open the new 2019-20 season.” CALL THE HOTLINE TODAY FROM 11 TILL 12 NOON on: 0141 309 3306 or email us: hotline@dailyrecord.co.uk
