Celtic more likely to sign Liverpool’s Moreno than Sturridge

The question is being asked whether Daniel Sturridge will end up at Celtic.

The England striker has been released from Liverpool is will find a new club.

Some fans are supportive of the move, but it’s outrageous to think Sturridge will be a Celtic man next season.

His wages alone will rule out a possible free transfer, especially this earl in the window.

Someone like Sturridge’s fellow released team mate Alberto Moreno is more likely.

Currently, only Kieran Tierney and Anthony Ralston will be available to Neil Lennon in pre-season.

Bringing in a hungry player such as Moreno on a free will be a massive statement by the Irishman.

Some fans are unsure of the manager and are questioning the ambition of the club with him in charge.

Moreno is 26-years-old and without a club, it’s surely a no brainer to test the water.

The Hoops shouldn’t be in the market for an attacking player such as Sturridge at all – the squad is already bloated in that respect.

Moreno will give Celtic a huge boost in the arm and help prepare the club for the Champions League.

Alberto Moreno is the standard fans want

Some Hoops fans are tired of projects and unknowns who do little to test the water in Glasgow.

Due to this, The Bhoys will have competition reportedly from Serie A clubs for the Spaniard.

There will be little need to uproot his family in the UK to sign for Celtic either, which could sway the move.

It’s time The Hoops put out a massive statement of intent and signing Moreno will be that.

Celtic are desperate for a full-back, and one that will be a starter, so the ex-Reds man fits the bill.
