Alberth Elis admits Celtic talks with Emilio Izaguirre as Hoops hero sells club to Honduran pal

Celtic target Alberth Elis has spoken to Emilio Izaguirre about potentially moving to Glasgow.

The Houston Dynamo winger was the subject of a bid last year from Celtic and Izaguirre confirmed Neil Lennon's interest in his Honduran team-mate.

And with Elis set to leave the MLS for a new adventure abroad, he's admitted he's got in contact with former Hoops favourite Izaguirre who had two spells at the club.

He said: "When I first played for Honduras I asked Emilio to recommend me to Celtic. In fact, always ask him that!

"There are clubs who would be nice to play for because they are always challenging for titles and cups.

"I have spoken to Emilio about Celtic and he's told me they are at another level.

"For me, since the day I left Olimpica, I've never hidden the fact that my dream is to go and play in Europe and compete in the Champions League.

"Houston know my position. They have offered me a new contract and I will decide on my future at the end of the season. I would have liked to have played 100 games for the club, but that may not be possible now."
