TRANSFER NEWS: Chelsea Snap Up Starlet

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has been left angered with Islam Feruz’s decision to join Chelsea.

The 16-year old is set for a move to west London after coming through the youth ranks at Parkhead. Lennon believes the Somalian-born Scotland youth international was poorly advised, and has been left disappointed after the club helped Feruz’s asylum-seeking family to remain in Glasgow.

“Celtic have looked after Islam and his family very well but it’s obvious his head has been turned.

“We’ve done all we can to keep him here but I haven’t seen him since the start of pre-season training.

“We took him and his family out of what you might call a rough housing estate and put them into a nice flat in the West End of Glasgow.

He added: “Islam was going along very nicely with us and had a good agent in John Colquhoun. Then the boy let somebody take over his future.

“His attitude changed dramatically and his attitude towards the club changed dramatically. Yet our club had been so good to him.”
