Lawrence desperate to join Celtic

Liam Lawrence is desperate for a move to Celtic and he hopes that Stoke will not over-value him in the market.

Celtic have reportedly made a £1.5 million bid for the Republic of Ireland international and Lawrence is convinced that his future lies northbound. He told the Stoke Sentinel:

“Celtic are a massive club and I just hope Stoke and Celtic can come to an amicable agreement for me.

“I hope I don’t get priced out of a move. If Stoke are looking for £2million, that sounds about right – and will be a good deal because I only cost £500,000.

“My agent says there could be another couple of clubs interested, but I’ve said to him I’d love to go to Celtic because I don’t think there’s a bigger club for me.

“I know Celtic haven’t had the best of seasons, but if they can bring in a few players, then I’m sure we can try to and turn things round up there.”
