Medical today, training tomorrow – Emilio agrees two year Celtic deal

EMILIO IZAGUIRRE has revealed that he will undergo a medical for Celtic today (Thursday) and will re-join his Celtic team-mates on Friday for training.

He is set to sign a two year contract later today after organising the deal directly with Celtic. Previously he had problems dealing with agents in Scotland and this resulted in his transfer to Saudi Arabia last summer.

“I will take my medical tomorrow (Thursday) and on Friday I will join training. The idea is to sign a two-year contract. The people at Celtic communicated with me directly and everything is now ready for me to sign.

“Since leaving Saudi Arabia, I’ve had offers to play for clubs in Turkey and Croatia. There was also interest from Alajuelense in Costa Rica, but no formal offer.”

In his first spell at Celtic Izaguirre won six Premiership titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups.
