Real Oviedo boss Julian Calero has admitted he is ready for some key players to leave this summer window, as he remoulds a squad for the Spanish second division, following Oviedo’s relegation last year… This has come after days and days of speculation surrounding Egyptian World Cup star Haissem Hassan, who it has been claimed by numerous sources, is high on the Hoops hit-list. The player has been mentioned by various outlets and even South American journalist Pablo Oliviera claimed that Celtic were upping the ante in their pursuit of the winger. Many thought that would be in the form of an official bid, but thus far there has been zero bids made for the speedster who shot to fame during his country’s match against former world champions Argentina, over in North America and Mexico this summertime. Then reports had surfaced that the Bhoys view Hassan primarily as their Daizen Maeda replacement, as he is the subject of a £10 million bid from English Premier League side Ipswich Town. It has been widely reported now that Hassan is the one Martin O’Neill views as the man to fill Maeda’s shoes and it is now just a matter of time before The Tractor Boys seal the deal for the Japanese international. Anthony Joseph at Sky Sports has also confirmed that Michael Nicholson has actually done something and made an enquiry for a player we now badly need through the door. It is now beginning to verge on the farcical how inept the current CEO of Celtic Football Club is, and if things don’t change quickly, the supporters could be in for another agonising season ahead. Oviedo boss Calero though has revealed he expects departures and trimming of the squad to focus more on youth moving forward. As reported by Killer Asturias, the Real Oviedo manager said: “I don’t like large squads because of the problems they create. Oviedo is a club that relies on its youth academy, and young players need to be given a chance when the first-team players aren’t playing. But that’s a decision for the club and the sporting director.” Paul Gillespie HAVE YOUR SAY – Join the Celtic conversation in our comments section below… Quick Tip – Add Celticshorts.com as your ‘Preferred Source’ on Google News for quick access to the Celtic content you value the most.
