Southampton and Celtic are no strangers to board room dealings when it comes to the transfer of players.
Over the years the St Mary's outfit have chucked big money in the direction of the Scottish champions in order to snap up top talents from the east end of Glasgow. It's a relationship that goes back years now and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. The most recent name to be linked with the English Premier League outfit is attacker Liel Abada.
We told yesterday how Saints were said to be preparing a £10million move for the 21-year-old with the Parkhead club reported to be ready to hear out interested parties after talks over a pay rise to get him to commit to an extended deal in Glasgow failed. Those talks are believed to have reached a stalemate with no sign of anything changing. It follows Macabbi Petka Tivka chief Avi Luzon claiming the Celtic ace wanted to be SOLD this summer with a move to England 90 per cent likely in an interview with One Sport. Daizen Maeda is another who has been namechecked in recent times.
