CELTIC target Mohanad Jeahze last night refused to rule out a summer transfer move from Hammarby.
The left-back, 25, was quizzed on reported Celtic interest yesterday and while remaining coy on the Glasgow links, didn't shut down a move.
Iraq internationalist Jeahze is out of contract in December 2023, and a Scottish Sun report claimed Hammarby would allow him to move should they receive an acceptable offer.
Following the transfer speculation, Jeaze was asked about a possible move to Parkhead to challenge Greg Taylor in the full-back position.
As quoted by the Scottish Sun, he responded: “I can’t say much about that."
But added: “I’ve always been very clear.
If I am going to leave Hammarby it will be for something better than Hammarby.
"I love it here in Hammarby.”
Jeahze was then asked about the similarity's between Hammarby and Celtic's shirts, he joked: “Yes, it’s green and white!”
It's reported Celtic would have to fork out around £2million to sign Jeahze in the summer.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
