Oliver Burke has responded to questions over his Celtic future.
On-loan Celtic winger Oliver Burke has told press conference, via 90 Minute Cynic, that he could still be interested in signing for the Hoops, despite Brendan Rodgers’s exit.
Celtic were rocked by the Northern Irishman’s shock decision to quit to become Leicester City’s new manager this week.
Rodgers signed the 21-year-old winger on loan from West Bromwich Albion in January and the Scottish winger – a £15 million signing by the Baggies in 2017 [The Express & Star] – has previously suggested that he’d be open to staying at Parkhead following a rip-roaring start [The Record].
The 46-year-old’s departure has obviously prompted questions over Burke’s future now, but the man himself, who played very little football with Albion, says he doesn’t care who the manager is providing he is a first-team regular.
He told a press conference, via 90 Minute Cynic: “Personally I’m still happy here. I’m enjoying my football. It’s a massive club with great fans and great people.
“I don’t think it [Rodgers’s departure] changes anything. I’m very happy. As long as I’m playing football and enjoying myself I don’t care who the manager is.”
This will be music to the ears of Celtic fans, many of whom would love to see Burke sign on a permanent basis this summer.
With four goals in five Premiership starts, the jet-heeled star has been a revelation in Glasgow, something that Bhoys fans will be hoping can continue next season.
