Tottenham defender Ryan Sessegnon moving to Celtic makes sense for all games, for Noel Whelan.
Speaking to Russell Edge, assistant editor of Football Insider, former Leeds and Aberdeen striker uttered his verdict when the Hoops tried to signal the left-back’s assignment.
Last week he revealed that Celtic had been informed that he would collect more than five million pounds in fees and salaries to loan Sessegnon during the season after filing a loan offer.
Spurs manager Jose Mourinho has given the 20-year-old the soft green to pass on loan and Neil Lennon has known him as the best candidate for the left-back position on his 3-5-2 list.
England U-21 foreigners played only six times in the Premier League last season and are willing to see this repeated when opting for their next destination.
Whelan told Football Insider: “You have to get out, it’s as undeniable as that. He has to pass out and play football. “
“He hasn’t noticed Jose Mourinho and is more than happy to let another club through.
“Celtic is a fantastic club to go to. You’re betting in Europe, you’re passing by to compete in an exciting Scottish Premiership this season with the Rangers as close as ever.
“You’ll get first-team football in one of Scotland’s most powerful groups betting on the right and where sessegnon is good.
“It’s a big step for both of us. For Celtic, getting a player of their caliber will be a great credit to them as they try to win the tenth title.
Tottenham is more than satisfied with him from the payroll.
“He can play football because we’ve forgotten about him. “
