Liel Abada has been handed a £10million price tag if Celtic are to cash in by Kenny Miller as he admits: 'He has got something different'.
In recent days Ajax have been linked with a move to snap up the Hoops attacker. They came calling to the Scottish market last summer for Rangers defender Calvin Bassey and they could return once more for the young Israel international. Ange Postecoglou boasts real strength and depth in the wide areas with the 21-year-old having to battle the likes of Sead Haksabanovic, Daizen Maeda, Jota and James Forrest for game time.
His match minutes this term have been more limited but he's still contributed 12 goals and seven assists while also experiencing Champions League football with two outings against European heavyweights Real Madrid. His return this season is just shy of last term with 15 goals and 11 assists to his name in his debut campaign.

Abada still has three-and-a-half years to run on his current Celtic deal but last month his former president at Maccabi Petah Tikva claimed he rejected a contract extension and wanted to be SOLD this summer with a very strong chance of a move to England.
Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show, when asked the value he would place on the Hoops attacker, Miller said: "I'm not sure, but maybe we are talking £10million for him? If you are talking at those types of numbers - £8million or £10million.
"He is really unfortunate that he has not had much game time behind Jota and Maeda. I think he has been brilliant when he has come on; he has got something different.
"That is what Ange has got in those wide areas, they all bring something different. Jota brings the flare and technique, you have Maeda who is pure power and pace, and you have Haksabanovic who has that wee dip of the shoulder and we have seen his bend on the shot.
"But Abada is direct and a real goal threat. We have seen in the big, big games against Rangers where he has popped up with a right few goals.
"They have got so many threats Celtic. Maybe it is the time to move him on [Abada] to make the most of it so you don't get into a Ryan Kent or a Alfredo Morelos situation, where you could be losing massive players for no money. And players you spent a good bit of money on as well."
