Ben Doak just didn't want to stay at Celtic after talking to Liverpool reveals agent Jackie McNamara.
The former Hoops youngster is continuing to set tongues wagging with the excitement over the potential of the 17-year-old going into overdrive. He has already landed a top team debut from Jurgen Klopp this season and also been included as part of English Premier League squads after huge success for the Reds' Youth team. He was also rewarded with his first pro deal at the club in a whirlwind couple of months.
He was a star in their UEFA Youth League campaign that includes goals against Rangers. Before his move south of the border Ange Postecoglou handed him a top team debut against Dundee United before further minutes in the Old Firm derby with the Light Blues. That appearance was the moment that McNamara thought Celtic could hang on to the top talent, but in the end once Liverpool made their pitch there was only one winner. The former Hoops and Scotland full-back, who is Doak's agent, has offered an insight into his departure from the Scottish champions.
