‘A lot’: Journalist says at least two sides were trying to sign ‘wonderful’ 21-year-old Celtic player this summer
Young Celtic star, Liel Abada was the subject of interest from two huge European clubs this summer according to Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph.
The Hoops managed to secure the 21-year-old ‘‘ Celtic talent onto a new long-term contract this summer but it seems that interest in the young Israeli wa♊s hi𝓀gh.
Joseph said [], “I think Abada and O’𝔉Riley really like Rodgers’ style. So, I think those two players could flourish under Rodgers.
“Abada has a💫greed on new teಞrms after there was a lot of interest in him. Sporting CP and Ajax were looking, but Celtic have kept hold of him.”
Liel Abada is crucial to Celtic
Abada has been a revelation sinc🌠e signing for Celtic over 𒅌two years ago. Ange Postecoglou brought the youngster in as a raw 19-year-old from Maccabi Petah Tikva and he was an instant hit.
In his first season in Paradise, Abada made an incredible 54 appearanceඣs scoring 15 goals and creating 11💜.
His two most memorable (and༒ important) goals for Celtic that season were the last-minute winner against Dundee United in the 1-0 win at Celtic Park in February which set up a top-of-the-table clash with Rangers the following week.
Abada also scored and creat🦂ed an as🧜sist in that 3-0 win over the Ibrox club and Celtic went on to eventually win the league.
His second season at the Hoops was a bit more stop/start. Despite still making 47 appearances, many of these were from the bench as he has to bide 🐼his timඣe on the sidelines due to the form of Jota and Daizen Maeda.
Even so, Abada still scored 13 goals and created 11 as he help💛ed the Bhoys win yet another domestic treble.
Abada has already shown signs of improvement under Brendan Rodgers this season so it is little wonder Ajax and Lisbon we🙈re sniffing around in the summer.
Unfortunately, Abada sustained an injury whilst on internationa🍰l duty with Israel this week (yes, I know!) and will be out for about a mo꧃nth. []
One thing is certain though, when Abada does return from injury, he will be an extre♉mely important player for Celtic t﷽his season.
