CELTIC star Beram Kayal has told a close adviser he definitely wants to leave the club next month.

The Israeli midfielder is out of contract next summer but wants to exit as soon as possible after falling out of the first-team picture.

Kayal told the adviser: “I want to leave Celtic during the transfer window.

“I feel my time is up and it would be better to go in January rather than hang on until the end of the season.”

The 26-year-old has been linked with a return to Maccabi Haifa who sold him to Celtic in 2010.

However, it would cost around £500,000 to secure Kayal before his deal is up.

The Hoops ace has admitted he would like a crack at English football and he was linked with Liverpool and Manchester United before injuries halted his progress at Parkhead.
