The winger could very well make the difference for Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side this season.

Celtic ace Scott Sinclair spoke to reporters yesterday, and talked up the quality of his teammate Oliver Burke, labelling the 21-year-old as a ‘powerhouse’, as quoted by the Scotsman.

Burke joined the Hoops from West Brom on loan for the rest of the season, and he made his debut for Brendan Rodgers’ side against Airdrieonians in the cup on Saturday.

On his day, the former Nottingham Forest and RB Leipzig winger really can be unplayable, and he will surely help Celtic improve upon the potency of their attacking play between now and the end of the season.

And Burke has already impressed Scott Sinclair.

The 29-year-old raved about the Scotland international, when speaking to reporters, highlighting the youngster’s pace as one of his key attributes, as quoted by the Scotsman:

“And it is the same with Olly – he is a powerhouse and he is just as quick (as Weah), and I’m sure we’ll see more of him as well.”

Next up for Celtic is a home game against St Mirren on Wednesday night, and Burke will be hoping for another chance to impress both Rodgers and the Parkhead faithful.
