What Jordan Larsson has previously said about Celtic after free transfer update

Henrik’s son Jordan Larsson looks set to be available as a free agent following his departure from Spartak Moscow. Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano indicated earlier on that the forward would be free to find a new club as his contract has been torn up.

The Swedish striker has had his contract terminated by the Russian club as he moved back to his homeland following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The 25-year-old could certainly be worth a punt as he enters the market as a free agent.

J. Larsson has previously been linked with a sensational move (mostly by Celtic fans) shortly before he decided to swap Sweden for Russia but no move ever transpired. However, Larsson has admitted that Celtic had a special place in his heart and that he would love to play for the club if an opportunity ever presented itself.

“For me Celtic will always have a special place in my heart. Not that I’ve played there in that sense, but it was the first place where I saw football as a young kid going with my mother to see games when my father was playing. That’s where I have the biggest memories in my head.

“‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ you have all the scarves before the games and everything so of course it will always have a special place in my heart.

“But at the same time since my father is who he is at the club I think for me personally if I would ever have the chance to play there then I would like to establish myself even more, make my own name before I would play there if that chance would ever come up but of course it’s tempting.

“Not that they are interested in that sense but If I think about it to be able to play there would be a dream in that sense. For me my whole life has been about proving I’m a good player, that I’m my own person you know.”

If Jordan were to join Celtic, he would have to work very hard to even be mentioned in the same breath as his father, who is one of the greatest players to ever play for Celtic. £650k was the fee that Wim Jansen paid Feyenoord in 1997 and it is fair to say that this represents one of the best pieces of transfer business in modern times.
