Aaron Hickey breaks silence on Celtic transfer link as Bologna youngster admits he's 'aware'

Aaron Hickey insists he isn't interested in any rumours linking him with a move to Celtic and is just focused on life in Italy.

The former Hearts youngster has impressed at the Serie A outfit and was nominated for the Golden Boy award last week, but has regularly been linked with a return home.

Celtic appear to be the likely destination with the boyhood Hoops fan previously admitting he would be interested in joining the club.

The Hoops are in need of a new left back after Diego Laxalt returned to AC Milan with just Greg Taylor there as a current option in that position.

But Hickey insists he's only focused on Bologna and will just keep his head down and keep working because he can't effect any speculation about his future and a move to Celtic Park.

Speaking to Scotland HQ, he said: “Well I am fully aware that there has been interest.

“I can see it all – but I have just got to keep my head down and keep my full focus on Bologna just now.”

Hickey only moved to Italy last summer and reportedly turned down a move to Celtic to head abroad.

He impressed for the Serie A side but suffered a shoulder injury that ended his season early in March.
