Sylla on verge of move to Leicester

KENNETH STEPHEN

CELTIC midfielder Momo Sylla is training at Leicester City and will know tonight whether manager Craig Levein wishes to make him his fifth signing since leaving Hearts. Levein has already been linked with a summer move for Celtic and Scotland keeper Rab Douglas.

However, he has moved first to take Parkhead’s want-away wing-back Sylla to the Walkers Stadium for assessment with a view to signing the £750,000 player.

Sylla, who is also attracting the attention of one English Premiership outfit, travelled to the Midlands on Wednesday evening and trained with Levein and the squad yesterday.

Levein has told the Sierra Leone-born player’s agent he will be in the position to tell him tonight whether he intends to offer him a contract, with a right-sided player a high priority in the rebuilding plans of the ex-Hearts head coach.

The 28-year-old still has one year left on his current deal at Parkhead, but Celtic have made it clear they will let him leave for nothing, as he attempts to get regular first team football elsewhere.

Sylla was signed from St Johnstone by Martin O’Neill back in August 2001 for £750,000 on the same day as John Hartson and Steve Guppy arrived at Parkhead. However, he has failed to hold down a place, making only 37 starts, nine of them this season, though he come off the bench a few times.

Levein has already signed fellow-Old Firm player Stephen Hughes, from Rangers, and Hearts’ Alan Maybury, Mark De Vries and Patrick Kisnorbo.

From the little I've seen of him on TV I remember him looking pretty good on the ball, but the end product was inconsistent.
Probably be a good player at this level though.

 

[Lako42]

could do a job at this level :-D

 

[cooperLCFCanstey]

lets have him

 

[beaumontfox]

so pretty much the same as Gillespie then but cheaper???

 

[Rayvon]

he's very quick but his control leaves a lot to be desired

maybe he'll be ok.

750k? that seems quite a lot for us to be shelling out for a player at the mo

He COST them £750k when they bought him :roll:

[Yorkshire Vixen]

[homer]

Can't say I'm too excited by this signing - she's never been the same she stopped doing Surprise Surprise in my opinion

 

[Han]

sounds like a nice player, valued at 750K and we're getting him for free. "only" 28 too

Wise minds think alike homer - I was going to mention something about a dried eyeless fruit but there you go.

Doesn't sound like "a deal by tonight" to me - perhaps there's a new series of Blind Date in the offing
