Celtic must win the SPL title and book their place in next season’s Champions League to satisfy the ambitions of Beram Kayal and prevent the midfield star pursuing a move south.

The 22-year-old has already caught the eye of several Premiership clubs, with Manchester United and Liverpool heading the chasing pack.

Kayal has revealed he has spoken with manager Neil Lennon about his future, even though he only arrived at Parkhead from Maccabi Haifa in a £1.2m move last summer.

The man who scored the winner for Israel in their European Championship match against Latvia at the weekend, and who will play for his country in another crunch qualifying tie tonight against Georgia, believes it will take an offer of around £10m for the Hoops to consider selling him.

He is content to continue to develop with Celtic, but, through his agent Dudu Dahan, has made it clear he wants a crack at playing in the Champions League.

If Lennon’s side can clinch the SPL title this season, the door will be open for him to get that chance with Celtic, though they would still have to negotiate the qualifying rounds.

Lennon considers Kayal to be one of the foundation stones in the side he is building, and the player is under contract for another three years.

But, with the interest he is attracting from top clubs in England, the opening of the transfer window could see Celtic’s determination to retain him put to the test.

Kayal revealed: “Neil told me that Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken about me. He also said they like me at a lot of other teams in England.

“Kenny Dalglish indicated that he wants me. But the manager said he won’t let me go.â€

Kayal is not about to rock the boat as he appreciates the chance Celtic have given him and is prepared to focus on helping them regain the championship and Scottish Cup.

“I have no choice, unless someone makes an offer Celtic can’t refuse,†he said.

“However, an offer of £10m could change the club’s tinking.â€

I've mentioned him on a couple of occasions and I think Ryan did too (or it might have been Rosco - one of the other Paddys). He's an exceptional talent and has been Celtic's stand-out player this season. He actually reminds me a lot of Didi in the way he reads the game, never seems flustered, never seems to miss a tackle AND seems to win a lot of free kicks when he tackles (Did was the master at this).

From what I've seen of him so far I'm hugely impressed and I suggested selling Lucas (but then i always do) and buying this guy instead about a month ago. I'm delighted to see we're being linked with him.

Oh and the full back is also Celtic's, Izaguirre who looks like a decent player.

X3. Another player wagging the club/ no thanks.
 
I've never heard of him but £10m?
He's must be great, sign sign sign!

So, we'll literally be linked with anyone these days then....

"Anyone"? He's been the best player in the Scottish league this season and English clubs have always raided the Celts north of the border for their gems - admittedly there have been slim pickings in recent seasons but Kayal has star potential.
 
DM from Macabbi Haifa.

Israeli kid who's really matured (& improved) at Celtic it seems, as I was never too impressed when I saw him with Haifa.

He's a very solid tackler, and passes well. Chips in with goals.

I don't know if he's worth 10 million, maybe they mean 10 million shekels.

He's a good young player - but we have Spearing/Lucas. Waste of money tbh unless one of them leaves.

Celtic have their strongest team for a few years but in general th standard in the league is not great.............

Kayal - Celtic - (hopefully Liverpool) - Worth a bid of £8m
Izaguirre -Celtic - could be a top 4 EPL player, worth a bid of £5m
Hooper - Celtic - definitely good enough for the EPL, maybe Villa or Bolton next season £7m
Goodwillie - Dundee United - a player I like a lot, apaprently linked with Birmingham, worth about £4m

I haven't seen Rangers very often this season but I know Davis has been playing well but he was hardly a roaring success in the EPL last time. I would have included Bougherra last season but he has gone strangely off the boil.
 
I think only Izaguirre is good enough to make an impact in the Premier League.
I don't really rate Gary Hooper, and it just seems as though, anyone who does a decent job in the Championship moves North.

Gary Hooper is a superb goal poacher. His goals have dried up a little of late but that's mainly due to the fact that Celtic don't play to his strengths. The Championship overall is a higher standard than The SPL but obviously Celtic & Rangers are an attractive proposition to Championship players as they are high profile clubs and can offer European football.

Unless he's really really improved, or he's just average for the national team, I don't get how he's gone up in value so much ... Is he really that dominant?

When I've seen him he's been excellent and yet to lose a 50/50 challenge. Also he is very comfortable on the ball and spots a good pass. Maybe £6m or £7m might be more the price range but he's been the best "new" player I've seen in the SPL for a long time.
 
I'm impressed ... I hope he performs well tonight then!

He's the 'heir' to Walid Badir as the best Israeli-Arab player currently. There's another really really interesting Israeli Arab prospect with Haifa, who is already the best LB in Israel (at the tender age of 18). He may be a good one, at least for Israel!
 
What sort of reception does he receive when he plays for the national team LTW? Has it encouraged Israeli Arabs to support the national team or did they already?

The worst reception I've ever seen for a "home" player was Kayam's boss at Celtic, Neil Lennon. Being a Catholic playing for Norn Iron he regularly received more abuse than the opposition players.
 
Haven't seen, or heard, of anything negative ... There probably is a small % that says offensive things.

Kayal played today in Israel's 1-0 win over Georgia.

He has improved quite a bit since the last time I saw him ... Very comfortable on the ball, good passing and as always, a harassing tackler. I don't know if he'd get to a level where he can contribute week in, week out but he's definitely worth a punt at 3-4 million as a 3rd/4th CM.

DB = Pesam?
 
He has improved indeed, but he's not what we need at CM.
Maybe as backup, but then we have Lucas, Spearing and Poulsen of whom 1-2 are surplus to our needs.

It definitely wasn't me, I've never seen him play.
 
It was me yeah.

He's quality. Not sure if he's ready for regular Premier League games, but he's definitely got ability and can play. Which is probably why he stands out at Celtic.

As for the others mentioned; Hooper? No. Izaguirre? No.

Good to hear ...

I'm surprised clubs in Scotland don't try and look more at Israeli players. There is talent here - there just isn't a 'proper' footy set up (i.e. footy schools, focus on fitness etc), so players don't reach their potential unless they leave for a better league (Belgium is the #1 destination currently). Kayal is an example - watch him before Celtic, you'd never that player could come out within a few months.

Hooper I suggested for a Bolton/Fulham type team - I think he'd do well in the Premier League but not at a top team and Izaguirre I haven't seen enoguh of but I've been quite impressed so far.

The standard in Sotland is poor so it's always difficult to evaluate these players against the required EPL standards.

Yup, Pesam - I forgot my Pesam login password. I would love to think that next season our midfield would be that strong that Kayal could be our back-up DM because he's significantly better than Lucas who is currently our first team DM.
