Celtic targeting Israel striker, says teammate
Celtic are keen on signing Israel striker Omer Damari, according to his international team-mate Beram Kayal.
The 22-year-old striker, who plays for Maccabi Petah Tikva, scored twice on his international debut against Iceland last year.
Hoops midfielder Kayal was quoted in the Daily Record as saying: "Omer and I talked in January and also less than two months ago. He asked me about the offer and I gave him a strong recommendation.
"Celtic then asked me what I know about him.
"I told them that Omer is one of the top strikers in Israel and has everything needed to succeed.
"With his speed and understanding of the game, he can reach high levels."
