In-demand Celtic star Reo Hatate has moved to cool speculation he could be tempted with a move to a cash-rich Saudi club.
However, the midfielder admits he holds a dream of playing in the English Premier League as he looks to the Champions League next term with Celtic. The Japan international has been linked with a move south of the border with reports suggesting that Ange Postecoglou is keen for a reunion at Tottenham - while speculation that he could follow Jota to the Middle East also gathering pace.
Hatate is understood to be focused on Celtic with a view to making his name in Europe. But Saudi sides – including Al-Ittihad – remain interest and are preparing to offer huge financial packages. Celtic won’t want to let go of another key player unless it’s a blockbuster bid after the Portuguese star made his way to the Gulf State in a bumper £25million deal. It comes after his agent moved to cool talk of a move to Saudi last week.
