Celtic defender Emilio Izagguire last night issued a “come and get me” plea to every club in the EPL.
The Honduran, who added the SPL player of the year title to the PFA one already secured on Sunday, now looks certain to leave Glasgow in a £6m deal after only one year in the city.
In a move sure to enrage Parkhead supporters and his manager Neil Lennon, Izagguire lambasted the standard in Scotland’s top league and vowed never to return in the future, even to do the half time draw.
Speaking exclusively to Record Sport last night, Izagguire said: “I am overjoyed to win this second award and now I must concentrate only on winning the double with Celtic, the club I have fallen in love with and will never leave. I am so, so happy to be here”.
With Premiership big guns Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton waiting in the wings to secure the Honduran’s signature it looks certain that the Scottish Cup final will be the last time Parkhead fans see their favourite in a hoops jersey.
“My family are happy here, I am happy here, the planets have aligned and I feel now this is my home. I have absolutely no desire to leave here at any time in the future, especially to England. I am 100% happy, happy, happy la la la la la!”
With just five appearances left, including a Hampden final, many Celtic fans will feel short changed after seeing the Honduran’s talents for only one fleeting season.
Izagguire, though, doesn’t see it that way and feels it is up to him to further his career.
“I’m ready to sign a new ten year deal to stay here straight after this interview” said the departing double prize winning defender.
