Hatem Abd Elhamed has revealed that he will be more focused on games in the future after seeing his family for the first time since his move to Celtic, and his comments are certainly exciting for supporters.
According to the Daily Record, Elhamed opened up about his struggles with not being able to see his family regularly following his Parkhead move, but believes he is in a better place and will kick on for Celtic now.
My wife and son came over after the Rennes game and it’s the first time that I’d seen them for two months. This is the first time they have come across in that period and I’m very happy for that. It is very important. To not be with them for such a long time was very difficult, especially for my son.
I am happy that things have now changed and we are together. My son is four years old. He has the full Celtic kit now and is beginning to understand things. My son, my family, are everything for me. The emotions are very big. I was really happy they came to Glasgow. This will help me to be more happy and focused on the games.
READ CELTIC VERDICT
Adjusting to life at a new club and in a new city is one of the hardest parts about a transfer, and Elhamed has clearly struggled off the pitch with regards to missing his family.
However, the defender has been seriously impressive on the pitch with his performances since his summer move, and his suggestion that he will be more “focused” is certainly exciting for the fans.
The Israeli international has quickly become a fan favourite at Parkhead, and if there is still more to come from him, as he suggests, then Celtic and the supporters will be in for a treat in the future.
