Scott Sinclair joined Celtic from Aston Villa in the summer of 2016.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told The Glasgow Evening Times that Scott Sinclair is a remarkable footballer.
Sinclair joined Scottish Premiership giants Celtic from English club Aston Villa in the summer of 2016.
According to The Herald, the Bhoys had to pay the Villans a transfer fee of £3 million in order to secure the services of the 27-year-old winger.
The former Chelsea and Manchester City man has been in superb form for Celtic so far this season and has been one of the team’s best players.
Sinclair has scored 18 goals in 37 appearances in all appearances for the Hoops so far this campaign.
Celtic manager Rodgers has praised the former Swansea City winger, and believes that he will score 20 goals in all competitions this season.
“Scotty is a remarkable player,” Rodgers told The Glasgow Evening Times. “You should enjoy watching him, he’s a breath of fresh air for Scottish football.
“He is a winger with speed, who wants to score and create goals. His pace is frightening. When I took him to Swansea, I had the same feeling as I did in the summer. I needed a winger to take the team up the pitch and he was fantastic for me.
“He has that top level speed and ability to go and break lines. If you are dominant and teams sit in, you need to through them. Scott can do that with and without the ball.
“He will get 20 goals. There is no doubt about that. For a winger to get that number, added to the assists he’s had, he’s a real catalyst for the team.”
Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 79 points from 27 matches.
The Glasgow giants are as many as 27 points clear of second-placed Aberdeen and are set to clinch the championship with a number of games to spare.
