Liel Abada has body swerved speculation that he could be on his way to the EPL.
The winger has enjoyed an impressive scoring start to the season, at the age of 20 he has already picked up a wealth of experience and is pushing towards becoming a regular in the Israel side.
International breaks inevitably involves questions about English football. Ange Postecoglou was quizzed extensively about moving to Leicester with local pundits unable to take in the thrills, pressure and rewards at Celtic compared to a bit-part life in a mid-table English side.
Crystal Palace have been linked with Abada but picking up on an Israeli report, The Sun quotes Abada steering well clear of ‘pleading for a dream move’ to England:
Right now I’m concentrating on the national team, not on the Premier League. We’ll do our best (for the national side).
There’s still a lot of work and the most important thing is to be humble, there are players and coaches who have been through a lot in their careers. I’m only trying to play a part in victory.
With Israel and Celtic flying high there are plenty of challenges coming up for the winger who has defied his age from the moment he joined the hoops last summer.
