Celtic’s Tom Rogic is in the form of his life right now.

Former play-maker Kris Commons believes ex-Celtic teammate Tom Rogic could be sold for around £7 or £8 million considering the form he is on and with a World Cup around the corner, Herald Scotland reports.

Rogic has been in terrific form for the Hoops of late, registering three goals in his last six outings including a well-placed finish in the recent 5-0 rout of Old Firm rivals Rangers at Celtic Park.

The Australia international has an abundance of talent, yet he has not always reached top gear and it was not until Brendan Rodgers became manager that we have seen consistent performances from him.

With a World Cup around the corner, some decent performances with the Aussies could see a few Premier League clubs sit up and take note – something that may not be such a bad scenario for Celtic.

Speaking to reporters for the Herald Scotland, Commons believes the recently-crowned Scottish Premiership champions could cash in on him for a decent figure.

“Tom is in the form of his life at the moment. He is not even having to think about things. It is all just coming naturally to him. He was in the zone. It was a joy to watch from attacking sense,” Commons added.

“If I’m playing well and scoring important goals and then going to a World Cup knowing other people will be watching me. You only have to play well in a couple of games to get a move. He could go to Brighton and probably get three times as much wages. Someone could bid £7 or 8 million for him.”

Rogic’s future at Celtic Park is somewhat up in the air, considering his current deal expires in the summer of 2019.

The Hoops are seemingly left with two options, either offer him a bigger wage packet to tie him down in Glasgow or cash in on him this summer, as allowing him to walk away for free in 2019 would be nonsensical.

The 25-year-old has bags of potential and attacking midfielders of his ilk could make the difference for Premier League clubs who are short on goals and in need of inspiration in their bid for survival.
