Gabby Agbonlahor says he wants to play for Celtic.
Free agent Gabby Agbonlahor has admitted his desire to play for Celtic.
Agbonlahor featured in a charity game involving Celtic and Liverpool at the weekend and admitted he would be open to a move to the Glasgow giants.
Agbonlahor is a free agent after his contract with Aston Villa expired.
Prior to this, Agbonlahor had been a one club man through his career barring two short loan spells in 2005, and is looking for a fresh start.
Agbonlahor told The Scottish Sun: “It’s a massive club and even just to come here and play in a charity match is an honour. I’ll try and speak to Brendan Rodgers and we’ll see what happens!”
The forward is 31 and made only six appearances for Villa last season.
He has not scored into double figures since 2012/13, and has 86 goals in total in his career.
On a short term deal he would add competition to the Celtic side but it is difficult to argue he would really improve them.
Here is a look at how some Celtic fans reacted on Twitter to his comments…
