Szymon Wlodarczyk kicks Celtic transfer door open as wanted man insists it's time to leave Poland

Celtic-linked Szymon Wlodarczyk has opened the door for a move to Glasgow after admitting it's time to move on from Gornik Zabrze. The 20-year-old striker has been dubbed the new Robert Lewandowski by his homeland media after netting seven goals in ten league starts in the Polish league.

That's led to him being linked with a £4 million move to Celtic - with Anderlecht and Freiburg also credited with an interest. It would be a record sale for Gornik Zabrze. And the former Legia Warsaw youngster has revealed he wants to test himself at a higher level. He said: "There are times in every footballer's life when you know and understand that a change is inevitable and you need a new beginning. And it seems that will happen this month."

Wlodarczyk is under contract until 2025 and it would take a significant outlay to land the Polish Under 21s striker, but that wouldn't be an obstacle for the Ange Postecoglou as the Hoops look set to cash in on Giorgos Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic in this transfer window. He played for his side at the weekend in a 1-1 draw with Japanese outfit Sanfrecco Hiroshima in a 1-1 draw at their winter training camp in Turkey.
