Daniel Arzani breaks his Celtic silence as he targets 'big season' and reveals what he has to prove

Daniel Arzani is targeting breaking into the Celtic team and proving to the world the hype should be believed.

Big things were expected of the prodigious Aussie when the Scottish champions signed him on loan from Manchester City on a two-year deal.

But disaster struck when he ruptured his ACL on his debut against Dundee back in October 2018.

However, he is fit again and ready to go as he told Fox Football Podcast of his ambitions.

Arzani said: "I’ve set my eyes on next season being a big one for me.

"A lot of people of have been saying I have potential, but at the end of the day there’s still a lot unproven.

"Right now my main focus is just getting back from this ACL injury and feeling good.

"For me (Rodgers’ exit) doesn’t change anything.

"It was a challenge for me to play under Brendan Rodgers at the beginning – his mindset was to have his attackers defend a lot. It’s not an easy team to break into."

Arzani will join his Celtic team-mates next week for pre-season training ahead of the Champions League qualifiers in mid-July.
