‘Has the ability’: Former Celtic man tips underwhelming signing to succeed next season
Remove Odsonne Edouard from the equation and where do the goals come from for Celtic?
The only other player at the club to have reached double figures this season is loanee Mo Elyounoussi, with 14 goals in 39 games, and there is no guarantee that he will be back for 2021/22.
Patryk Klimala has found the net just three times in 24 appearances, but he’s been tipped to come good for Celtic.
Former Parkhead man and fellow Pole Dariusz Dziekanowski believes the 22-year-old has what it takes to become a hit in Scottish football, and has pointed to Edouard’s form and the difficulty of adjusting to life in another country during lockdown as explanations for his frustrating time so far.
With Edouard , Dziekanowski is optimistic about Klimala’s chances of forcing his way into the next manager’s thoughts.
The former striker, who played for Celtic between 1989 and 1992, told : “There will be a lot of changes at Celtic this summer with a new manager coming in.
“He will have his own ideas and I would think he’d want to bring in new players to lift the team.
“But it could be a fresh start for Patryk. It has been difficult for him at Celtic so far but this could be an opportunity for him to show what he can do.
“This is a big summer for Patryk and his Celtic career. It could be make or break for him.
“I expect Odsonne Edouard to be sold for big money at the end of the season so the door could be open for him.
“No doubt Celtic will be thinking about buying another striker but he should see this as a chance for him to save the club some money by becoming the main forward.
“I feel for him as it’s been a difficult spell for him. He would have wanted to have played more games than he has done so far.
“Edouard has been the first choice striker and he’s had to be patient.
“But you also have to take in account the circumstances. He arrived in the January and football stopped just a few weeks later.
“It’s not easy when you move to a new country but it’s especially hard right now when the country is in lockdown and you cannot be meeting people in cafes or restaurants.
“The other side of it is there are no distractions – all you can think about is football. That’s no bad thing sometimes.
“The big advantage he has got is his age. He is still only 22-years-old and he will improve. I would have loved to have joined Celtic when I was that age.
“Klimala will have believed this could have been a route for him to maybe eventually play in the top leagues like England or Germany.
“He has to make an impact at Celtic first though.
“It is up to him to have the desire to be a Celtic player. He has to ask himself, am I happy being on the edges, or maybe going out of loan?
“Or am I going to fight and show the new management team I can be a big player at this club?
“Patryk has the ability but only he has the answer. You can’t leave anything on the shelf at Celtic.”
