Super Eagles’ defender, Efe Ambrose, has given Celtic of Scotland a
boost by insisting he is happy to stay with the club despite Premier
League interest.
The 24-year-old defender, who enjoyed a fine season with the Scottish
champions, was linked with a move to West Brom and Crystal Palace.
But Ambrose stressed he has no intention of quitting Parkhead.
He said: “I’m very flattered by the mention that I’m wanted by a
number of teams. But I am a Celtic player and I am committed to the
club.
“It is always expected that after such a successful season, winning
titles with your club and country, there will be reports saying you’re
being watched by this club or that club. But I’m focused on helping
Celtic do well this season. I believe the team can do even better than last season.”
The 28-times capped defender is to play in a special game next
Wednesday against South Africa to honour former President Nelson
Mandela.
He said: “It is always a joy for me to play for my country and it will be massive playing for Nigeria in recognition of a great man like
Nelson Mandela.”
