In-demand Vinicius Souza has added to the transfer speculation surrounding his future after insisting he's willing to bide his time over his next move.
It comes after Record Sport revealed the Premiership champions are unwilling to wait indefinitely for the 24-year-old Lommel star. Souza has been tracked by a clutch of clubs this summer and it's understood he is weighing up all his options with Fenerbahce and Ajax also casting admiring glances.
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is looking to strengthen his side now ahead of their imminent return to Champions League group stage football for the first time in five years. But if Souza is feeling the pressure to make a decision on his future then his latest update on social media certainly doesn't appear to show it. The Mechelen loanee, who has been training with Manchester City, who have a partnership with Lommel, is looking at the big picture.
He posted on Instagram: "Everything has its time." The chase for Souza comes amid his eye-popping stats that marked him out as among the best defensive midfielders in Europe. His average of 14 interceptions per game was the best among all players across the continent during the 21/22 season.
Celtic have an advantage in the race for Souza due to their blooming working relationship with the City Group. That is only set to strengthen after of the arrival of highly-rated Mark Lawwell as the Parkhead's new recruitment chief.
