Chris Sutton comments on Scott Sinclair’s Celtic future

Scott Sinclair joined Celtic in 2016 when Brendan Rodgers was the manager.

Chris Sutton has written in The Daily Record that he will not be shocked if Scott Sinclair leaves Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Sinclair has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Aston Villa for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £3 million and when Brendan Rodgers – now the manager of Premier League club Leicester City – was the manager.

The 30-year-old winger has been a success at the Hoops and has been key in the Glasgow giants winning the domestic treble for the past two seasons.

Former Celtic striker Sutton believes that Sinclair is struggling to have an influence at the Hoops, and has suggested that the former Chelsea and Manchester City winger could leave Celtic Park in the summer transfer window.

Sutton wrote in The Daily Record: “James Forrest is outstanding on the right-hand side but Scott Sinclair is struggling to have an influence and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him leaving in the summer.”

Leaving Celtic?

Sinclair was superb for Celtic in his debut season in 2016-17, and although his stats do look good since then, there is a feeling that he has not been as good as he was for the Bhoys in his debut campaign.

If a club from the Premier League or a top team in the Championship in England come calling for the former Bristol Rovers man, then it could tempt Sinclair into a switch.
