Dutch pundit predicts where striker will end up after Celtic's scouting mission

Former Brighton star turned Dutch TV pundit Hans Kraay has confirmed Celtic were watching Telstar top scorer Youssef El Kachati this week.

But he reckons the Hoops will have to battle it out with Hannover and Schalke to land the hitman, who has played for Morocco Under 23s.

Former Sparta Rotterdam ace El Kachati netted his 19th goal of the season in Telstar's play-off win against Den Bosch on Friday night.

And Kraay - who also played for NAC Breda and De Graafschap and went on to become a manager before moving into TV punditry - underlined how much competition Celtic would have to face to sign the player.

He said: "Celtic were in the stands to watch Youssef El Kachati. I know that for sure.

"He has been in contact with Hannover and he has been in contact with Schalke too.

"He has a lot of interest from other clubs too, including ones in the Eredivisie. He can take his pick at the end of the season.

"I think he wants to go abroad."
