Agent confirms ‘dozens’ of clubs are lining up to sign Boyata

Dedryck Boyata’s agent has once again confirmed that several teams are looking to sign the Belgian defender from Celtic.

Speaking to Belgian outlet HLN, as cited on Sport Witness, Jacques Lichtenstein explains that ‘dozens’ of teams are interested in the player.

Premier League strugglers Fulham are still believed to be interested in signing the player after missing out on a summer deal.

After winning promotion from the Championship, Fulham had several bids rejected for Boyata over the summer after the defender impressed at the World Cup in Russia.

There are now more concerns over the player’s immediate future, with suggestions he could be sold in January.

Boyata is out of contract in the summer and if the club decides not to sell during the January window, he’ll be free to leave for nothing in the summer.

After a summer of dispute with the defender, Celtic will be looking to resolve the player’s future as soon as possible.
