Celtic winger Scott Sinclair is said to be keen to move back to the Premier League.

Scott Sinclair of Celtic is seen during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Celtic and Motherwell at Celtic Park on December 2, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to the Scottish Sun, Scott Sinclair wants to leave Celtic to pursue a move back to England, but he would be taking a massive risk by doing so.

Celtic rescued Sinclair from a stage when his career in England had completely stalled, when they snapped him up for £3 million back in 2016, as valued by the Guardian.

Sinclair failed to break into either Manchester City and Aston Villa’s staring line-ups, with the winger losing all sort of form and confidence.

After moving to Celtic, he had a wonderful first season for the Bhoys – and became one of Brendan Rodgers’ side’s key attackers.

But this term Sinclair’s form has not been the same, and that makes a move back to England look even more risky.

Sinclair hasn’t been at his best for Celtic, and to move back to the Premier League, could leave him spending time on the substitutes’ bench again.

It is understandable why Sinclair, at 29, may feel that he wants another chance back in England.

But if he focused at Celtic, the opportunity is there for him to become a great.

The Bhoys have big ambitions to progress in Europe over the coming years, and Sinclair could have a key role to play in that.

And he would be better off staying put, rather than risking a move back to England, which has no guarantees of paying off.
