James Forrest;Celtic Winger star has announced terminating his Contract with club due to…

The Celtic winger has been linked prominently to English Premier League side Newcastle United.

A former Celtic star turned pundit is backing a couple of Hoops men for strong ends to the season – amid Newcastle United chat.

Nicolas Kuhn’s form has dipped in recent weeks as Brendan Rodgers’ side close in on the title. It’s been claimed ahead of the summer transfer window that Newcastle are on his tail but he was replaced by James Forrest in the Celtic XI for Saturday’s 5-1 thumping of Kilmarnock.

Forrest has returned from injury as he looks to add more trophies to his stunning Hoops haul. Amid ‘big bucks’ Premier League chat, Simon Donnelly reckons both have a part to play in wrapping up the title and winning the Scottish Cup in search of Treble glory.

Former Celtic star takes on star’s exit links

He told the Sunday Post: “Over the season, they have had some really consistent performers and we all know about Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda and Kasper Schmiechel. They’ve all been superb. Nicolas Kuhn was on fire for the first six months of the season but his consistency levels have dropped a wee bit in the past few weeks.

There was talk of English Premier League clubs willing to pay big bucks for him in the January window. I’ve no idea if that was the case or not. But what I do know is that he is a top quality player who has it in his locker to play in the top leagues in Europe. Before any of that, however, I want to see him turning it on for Celtic and finishing the season really strongly. In terms of goals and assists, his numbers are brilliant. I’m sure the manager will be challenging him to add to that tally before the end of May.
