Aissa Laidouni breaks Celtic transfer silence as Ferencvaros star leaves door open to 'any possibility'

Ferencvaros star Aissa Laidouni has left the door open for a winter move from the Hungarian champions amid links with Celtic.

Reports in France suggest that the Scottish Premiership leaders are among a number of clubs that had the Tunisia international on their radar during the World Cup, with Ange Postecoglou weighing up any additional moves he needs to make in the January transfer window. Laidouni was impressive in the Middle East despite Tunisia going out in the group stage playing a key part in the impressive 1-0 win over France in their last Group D fixture, before Les Bleus went on to reach the World Cup final.

Wolfsburg have also been credited with an interest while reports in Hungary suggest Russian clubs are weighing up a move. Ferencvaros have stated they will not stand in the player's way should the right offer come in for their key man, as they look to bankroll a push to the latter stages of the Europa League and the sale of Laidouni could be vital.

However, Laidouni appears to be keeping his options open this month amid the reports. Speaking to Ulloi ut 129 returning to training after the club's winter break the 26-year-old was asked about potential interest from Celtic and Wolfsburg.

He replied: "I don't have to deal with them. I feel very comfortable at Ferencvaros, I have a live contract with Ferencvaros.

"All my respect goes to the club, the head coach, the sports director, the president.

"This is a big family. And I'm a professional, and I have to do my job that way. I have to do my job in such a way that I am ready for any possibility.”
