Patrick Roberts has completed his move to Celtic on loan from Manchester City on Monday.
The 20-year-old winger previously spent 18 months on loan with Celtic before heading back to his parent club Manchester City at the end of last season.
Roberts enjoyed a superb campaign with Celtic last season, where he scored 15 goals in all competitions and helped the club win Scottish domestic treble.
Former Celtic striker John Hartson took to Twitter to express his opinion on Robert’s move. He says it is “great business” from the Hoops.
During a twitter interaction, Hartson was asked why Celtic cannot ‘buy’ Roberts permanently, to which he replied that either Celtic “won’t pay the fee” or City “don’t want to sell him.”
Replying to a fans’ comment that Roberts earns around £65,000-per-week at Manchester City, Hartson added Celtic will have to pay him those wages if the club sign him on a permanent move.
Roberts is a highly exciting young winger, and Manchester City probably won’t be willing to sell him permanently without giving him a proper chance in the first team.
