Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has outlined to The Daily Record two qualities of Scott Sinclair that have impressed him.

Sinclair joined Scottish Premiership giants Celtic from Championship club Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.

According to The Glasgow Evening Times, the Bhoys had to pay the Villans a transfer fee of £4.5 million in order to secure the services of the 27-year-old.

Celtic boss Rodgers has been impressed with Sinclair and has highlighted two of his main qualities.

“You can see he is quality,” Rodgers told The Daily Record about Sinclair. “His ability to take the ball up the field quickly is there and he has a hunger to score goals.”

Sinclair is a very good footballer and has been playing well for Celtic this season.

The former Swansea City and Manchester City winger did not have a great 2015-16 campaign with Villa, but he could be one of the stars of the season for the Bhoys.

The 27-year-old scored two goals and created four chances in 27 Premier League appearances for Villa during the 2015-16 campaign.

Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 13 points from five matches, three points clear with a game in hand.
