BBC Sport jump on board the Celtic bashing Itakura bus
BBC Sport are jumping on board the myth that Celtic have missed out on their top summer signing target.
Whether Jota or Cameron Carter-Vickers was Ange Postecoglou’s top target is up for debate, what is crystal clear is that it wasn’t Ko Itakura.
On July 10 Celtic secured Carter-Vickers from Spurs, on July 1 Jota also moved to Celtic on a permanent basis.
Almost all Celtic fans were aware of those priorities, most media outlets had framed transfer business in the same way but when Itakura joined Borussia Moenchengladbach the Scottish Daily Express decided to put 2 and 2 together to come up with 55.
The lead story on BBC Scotland gossip is about Ellis Sims not returning to Hearts after a season long loan at Tynecastle. Somewhere in BBC Sport the chance to knock Celtic and big up Nicky Katic was too good to resist.
Ko Itakura was snapped up by Borussia Monchengladbach, leaving the Scottish champions without their top target ?
Elsewhere Rangers Nikola Katic is said to be coming back to the club in better shape after a loan spell last season ?
