Former Liverpool midfielder reacts to Ben Doak Celtic return suggestion

Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann says that Ben Doak should join Leeds United over Celtic this summer. 

The winger's future is currently up in the air as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield. 

Doak spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he scored three goals and assisted seven in 24 appearances across all competitions.

Hamann, who spent seven years on Merseyside, recently reacted to a suggestion that Doak could return to Celtic, the club he initially joined Liverpool from in 2022. 

Speaking to CasinoHawks, who have the latest casino sites, Hamann said: "Ben Doak’s future depends on what Liverpool are planning for him because at his age, he needs to be playing. 

"If he goes to Celtic, I think he's pretty sure to probably start because Nicolas Kuhn went to Como.

"I think Celtic is a fantastic club. But, in terms of progression as a player, the Premier League is probably the better place because he will get tested every week, more than he does in the Scottish league. 

"If Leeds really see him as one of the first 13 or 14 players, if he doesn't start, then he's one at least of the first ones to come on, then as a player, I would probably lean towards Leeds."
