International ace's Celtic claim

Celtic, 10:14, August 13, 2008 ,

Toulouse full-back Herita Ilunga has put Celtic and Newcastle on red alert by admitting he is interested in joining both clubs.

The DR Congo international has been linked with the Magpies for a few weeks and now claims he is interested in moving to the UK, while the Bhoys are also said to be in the hunt.
Ilunga told Sky Sports: "I am flattered by Celtic's interest, they are one of the biggest teams in the world and their fans are the best in the world.
"But Newcastle have very good fans and I am flattered by their interest also, but we have to wait, it does not depend on me.
"There is so much that needs to be done for a transfer, but a move to the United Kingdom is the one I want to move my career forward."
He added: "The Premier League is appealing, but Celtic are the biggest team in Scotland and are known everywhere - so I don't know, I love the United Kingdom and that is all I can say."
