Premier League clubs have their eyes on Celtic winger Liel Abada, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. 

The Lowdown: Abada's time at Celtic

Celtic signed the winger back in July 2021 from Maccabi Petah Tikva on a five-year deal worth a reported fee of £3.5m.

Since then, the Israel attacker has gone on to make 78 appearances for the Parkhead club across all competitions, the latest of which being in their recent 2-1 SPFL win over Livingston, where he assisted both goals.

With domestic football now on the go again following the World Cup in Qatar, the Celtic star has caught the attention of clubs in England.

The Latest: Romano's Abada update

Josip Juranovic is expected to be the subject of heavy speculation over the coming weeks after his displays in Qatar with Croatia, and now Romano has revealed there is serious interest in Abada as well.

"Premier League clubs are following Liel Abada for the future. Talented winger born in 2001, has scored 24 goals and also provided 13 assists in 18 months. Celtic consider Abada as key player and they want to keep him at all costs, even if PL clubs are tracking him."

The Verdict: Celtic must keep hold of Abada

As well as scoring seven goals and delivering four assists in his 17 league appearances this season, Abada has racked up more shots on target (19) than any other Celtic player, as well as having the highest percentage of shots on target (59.4%) at the club.

This highlights how much of a useful attacking figure he is for Celtic and presumably shows why some clubs in England have their eyes on him.

In our view, the Hoops should have no intention of allowing the winger to leave the club any time soon as his goals and assists have proved how much of an impressive player he is at still a fairly young age.

Moving forward, unless Abada tells the Celtic hierarchy he wants to leave, the board should be holding out for the foreseeable future as his current form will only see his price tag rise even further.
