Celtic winger Liel Abada has become a loan target for several clubs, including West Brom, Southampton, and Watford, amid a challenging situation at Parkhead.
According to a Daily Mail report by the reliable Stephen McGowan, interest in Abada extends beyond the English clubs, with teams from Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga also monitoring his situation.
Abada, an Israel international, returned to the Celtic squad for the derby win over Rangers after recovering from an injury. He started and played well in Celtic’s cup win over Buckie Thistle, grabbing an assist too.
However, his time in Glasgow has not been without difficulties. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has led to a pro-Palestine stance among a section of Celtic’s fanbase, raising questions about Abada’s long-term future at the club.
He’s facing pressure from his own country to leave the Scottish champions.
The report suggests that a six-month loan could provide Abada with the opportunity to step back and reassess his situation come summer.
Despite these developments, Celtic has shown no apparent desire to part with the 22-year-old winger for the second half of the season.
The winger put pen to paper on a new 4-year deal in September, before Hamas’ attack on October 7th.
Before the hamas attack? There were many more Israeli attacks b4 that. Why pick that out?
