Confusion as Ismaila Soro leaves Celtic
Ismaila Soro appears to have upset ARIS as he completed his switch from Celtic to Beitar Jerusalem.
After a move to French side Valenciennes fell through earlier in the window things had gone fairly quiet relating to the midfielder.
Over the last few days there has been reports that Beitar Jerusalem were keen to sign Soro with the Israeli side confirming that the deal had been completed at lunchtime on Friday.
Giannis Chorianopoulos has been upto speed over the last week with the transfer of Luis Palma but this afternoon he found himself almost dealing with another Celtic transfer.
? Unbelievable from Aris Thessaloniki. Greek club informed unofficially that they are close to sign Soro from Celtic. But the player had already signed for Beitar Jerusalem. Unbelievable mistake from the Greek club ?@CelticFC #ARIS #CelticFC #Celtic

At this stage of the window transfer business can be confusing with various agents claiming that they have a mandate to sell a player.
With an Ivorian wanted by clubs in Israel and Greece there are obvious grounds for confusion with Celtic making it clear that they are keen to do business.
Moving the midfielder out of the club was the priority regardless of what club that the 25-year-old ends up playing for.
