Renato Tapia breaks transfer silence as Celtic and Rangers linked midfielder delivers fresh signing hint

In-demand Renato Tapia has added to the transfer furore surrounding him by hinting he's on the verge of announcing his next club.

The 24-year-old Peru international has been linked with both Celtic and Rangers as he gets set to exit Feyenoord after four years with the Eredivisie big boys.

But it's not just the Premiership pair who are keen on him with the likes of Celta Viga and LA Galaxy are also keeping close tabs.

And now Tapia admits his big decision is imminent after saying a final farewell to Dutch football.

Speaking to Feyenoord TV, he said: "It has been a great trip in the Netherlands

"I grew up here and continue with a good feeling. Playing in De Kuip was always great,

"I will definitely miss that. Just like the guys I've known for a while. It will be weird not to be with them in one field and in the same dressing room anymore.

"The farewell is going to get emotional, although I know I'm going to see them again.

"What does the future hold? We will see.'

Tapia's update comes after Peru's football chief hinted a deal with his next club has all but been agreed.

Juan Carlos Oblitas told Ovacion: "Tapia is going to get a team and what's more, I think he already has.

"I don't want to say who it is though because he still has a contract until the end of the month.

"I feel calm when it comes to him."
