Patrick Roberts broke the hearts of many-a-Celtic fan last week by joining Norwich City on loan.

There was no rumour about the Manchester City winger re-joining Celtic, but after his failed spell with Girona in Spain, there always seems to be hope that the Hoops will bring him back.

But Roberts, who dazzled during two loan spells at Parkhead, dashed that dream by signing for the newly-promoted Premier League outfit.

The 22-year-old took to Instagram to celebrate his move to Carrow Road and Kieran Tierney responded by writing: “Good luck ma man.”

This is a huge test for Roberts.

There is an argument to be made that the Premier League is tougher to succeed in than Spain, where he flopped, and he won’t be in a side that wins every single week.

Plus, it is a much more physical league and Roberts is only 5’7 so it’ll be interesting to see how the youngster – who won seven major titles in Glasgow, including three Premiership crowns – gets on.
