Elijah Just’s agent has left the door open over the winger’s future amid continuing links with Celtic ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Motherwell attacker has been one of the standout performers in the Premiership this season and has attracted growing interest after his form at Fir Park. Celtic have repeatedly been linked with the New Zealand international over recent months as the club looks at attacking reinforcements ahead of next season.

Just was pictured with Celtic supporters in Edinburgh last Sunday during the Glasgow derby weekend, with some fans online claiming the 25-year-old responded ‘anything can happen’ when asked about a possible move to Celtic this summer.


CeltsAreHere contacted his agent, Gustaf Grauers, for clarity on the speculation surrounding the player’s future.

While Grauers insisted the immediate focus remains on Motherwell and New Zealand’s upcoming World Cup campaign, he did little to shut down the idea of a move later in the summer.

Speaking exclusively to CeltsAreHere, Grauers said: “It’s really the same as before. Eli is focused on helping Motherwell earn a European spot and then shift all focus to the World Cup.

“After that anything can happen. Before that nothing will happen.”

That response will only add further intrigue around Just heading into the transfer window.

The winger has impressed throughout the season with his direct running, work rate and ability to carry the ball in transition. He also caused Celtic problems during Wednesday night’s match at Fir Park before Kelechi Iheanacho’s late penalty kept the title race alive going into the final day.

Timing may prove key.

With the World Cup beginning shortly after the domestic season ends, Motherwell are unlikely to want distractions around one of their most valuable players. Strong performances on the international stage could also increase interest from elsewhere before any decision is made on his future.

For now, the message from Just’s camp is clear.

Nothing happens yet.

But nobody is ruling anything out once the summer begins.
