Patrick Roberts has suggested that he will leave Celtic when his loan spell from Manchester City comes to an end this season.
Celtic fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to recent comments made by Manchester City-owned Patrick Roberts.
Roberts has suggested to Sky Sports that he will leave Celtic when his current loan spell at Celtic Park runs out in the summer.
The youngster has also said that he wants to test himself in the Premier League next season.
The 21-year-old winger joined the Hoops on loan from Premier League side City in January 2016 until the summer of 2017 before returning to the Glasgow giants on yet another loan deal for the 2017-18 campaign.
Roberts told Sky Sports: “I’ve enjoyed my football [with Celtic] and everyone knows that. But you also have to look at the bigger picture and I have certain ambitions in my head and places that I want to be.
“To get there I need to come out of my comfort zone and try to reach those targets, but playing for Celtic has been a dream come true and I’ve enjoyed every minute.”
When asked if he would like to play in the Premier League next season, Roberts said: “Hopefully, that’s the main aim. Being an English player and having come through the system in the Premier League [the ambition] is to play for a top club in the Premier League.”
Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to comments from Roberts about his future.
Below are some of the best comments:
