Celtic-linked winger's agent confirms transfer 'discussions'

The New Zealand international scored three goals in the tournament, including a record-breaking brace, making him the first Kiwi to achieve this in a single World Cup match.

The 26-year-old player was already on Celtic's radar before the tournament, and his impressive displays have intensified their interest. His agent, Gustaf Grauers, told the Daily Record: "We're still evaluating the different options available to Elijah.

"He's back with Motherwell now and, as always, we have a lot of respect for the club, so there are ongoing discussions to determine what the best path forward looks like.

"The World Cup certainly generated further interest, and we've had additional enquiries from clubs in a number of countries. That's natural after the tournament he had.

"At this stage, though, our focus is on carefully assessing the opportunities rather than rushing into any decision.

"We'll see how things develop over the coming weeks."

Just is under contract until the summer of 2027 and has returned to Fir Park for pre-season training.

So far, Celtic have made two signings in the transfer window, including the return of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Last week, they confirmed the capture of Qarabag's Camilo Duran on a five-year deal.
