Trabzonspor striker Marc Janko has proclaimed that he would be prepared to walk to Glasgow to sign for Celtic.
The Turkish outfit have been linked with a move for Celtic forward Georgios Samaras during the January transfer window, and Austrian Janko has staked his claim for a move in the opposite direction.
The 30-year-old was in talks with a view to making the switch to Celtic Park in 2009, but ended up staying at Red Bull Salzburg, and admits his regret at letting the opportunity pass him by.
If Celtic are looking for a striker to score goals then tell them I would honestly walk to Glasgow from Turkey to join, he is quoted as saying by the Daily Record.
If I was to get the chance to talk with Celtic again, I would be interested. I first came to speak to them a …
Romelu Lukaku was on target and Eden Hazard made a long-awaited international return as Belgium beat Croatia 1-0 in their final Euro 2020 warm-up game.
The impressive Lukaku struck in the first half at King Baudouin Stadium on Sunday to give the Red Devils a deserved victory.
Injury-blighted Hazard came off the bench late on to make his first Belgium appearance for 19 months, just six days before Roberto Martinez s side face Russia in their first match of the European Championship.
Zlatko Dalic s Croatia side lacked a cutting edge in Brussels a week prior to their opening game of Euro 2020 against England at Wembley.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp responded to Jose Mourinho s jibe about trophies, saying it cannot be all he is judged on at Anfield.
Ahead of Manchester United s trip to Liverpool on Sunday, Mourinho said trophies matter , with Klopp yet to deliver silverware since taking over at the Premier League club in October 2015.
But the German, who has lost three finals during his time at the club, said there was more to consider than just trophies.
Do I have to? Do I have to win it? That might be what people remember but what I have to do is make the best of the things the club is offering me, that is what I believe in, Klopp told UK newspapers.
If people say the Champions League campaign last season was not a success because we didn t win the final then I cann…
Brighton and Hove Albion s Lewis Dunk equalled the record number of own goals scored in a single Premier League season by netting his fourth against Swansea City on Saturday.
The centre-back s misfortune ultimately counted for little as Brighton ran out comfortable 4-1 winners to end Swansea s 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
But he did earn unfortunate share of history when he got in the way of Tammy Abraham s long-range effort five minutes from time.
The ball took a hefty touch off Dunk and flew past the helpless Mat Ryan, giving Swansea the slightest glimmer of hope before Jurgen Locadia restored the three-goal advantage.
It was Dunk s fourth own goal of the season, following unintended efforts against Manchester United, Manchester City an…

On the day of El Clasico, the final one of this decade, the crowds gathered early – even by the fixture s normal standards.
But the thousands in attendance weren t just congregating outside Camp Nou for an early glimpse of the team buses. No, they were there for the start of a demonstration organised by Catalan independence activists Tsunami Democratic.
Initial estimations had expected 18,000 supporters of the cause to attend, though the group themselves claimed on Wednesday they were distributing 100,000 banners.
Their aim? To encourage a dialogue between Spain and Catalonia following the jailing of nine Catalan separatist leaders in October for their respective roles in the region s 2017 referendum and declaration of independence.
The match had been a…
Alvaro Morata has told Chelsea he wants to leave the club in the January transfer window, according to Maurizio Sarri.
Morata has drifted out of favour under Sarri this season, with the Spain striker having only scored five Premier League goals in 16 appearances.
Sarri has preferred to use Eden Hazard as a false nine of late, while Gonzalo Higuain arrived on loan from Juventus on Wednesday to boost Chelsea s attacking options.
Morata, previously described by Sarri as mentally fragile , has subsequently been linked with a return to Spain, with Atletico Madrid reportedly interested in a deal for the former Real Madrid player.
And Sarri duly explained why Morata s problems made him target Higuain, the Argentina international having plundered 36 Serie A goals…

In what looks set to be a thriller from the foot of the Premier League table, Everton will welcome Bournemouth to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Everton might have thought that they had turned a crucial corner when returning from September’s international break, Sean Dyche’s side certainly came crashing back down to earth in a spectacular fashion last weekend. Putting in a nightmare performance on home soil as they eventually slumped to a shock 2-1 loss against top-flight returners Luton, it is no secret that the former Burnley boss has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders. While the Toffees might have extended on their EFL Cup adventure on September 27th as they claimed an ey…

Real Madrid have announced the signing of midfielder Eduardo Camavinga from Rennes.
The 18-year-old France international agreed a six-year contract with Los Blancos in a deal that could cost up to €45million, according to reports.
It is the first time Madrid have spent money on a transfer fee since 2019, when they signed Eden Hazard from Chelsea for €100m.
Camavinga had been linked with a host of major European clubs, including Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, but Madrid elected to make a late push to sign him before the transfer deadline after it became clear that landing Kylian Mbappe from PSG would be impractical.
