Just months after signing a new contract until 2020, Nir Bitton will be moving on this summer to join a Premier League club.

The midfielder signed a new five-year deal with Celtic, but it did little to halt the interest in him down south with his agent confirming he will leave in the summer.

Dudu Dahan has been involved in plenty of transfers recently in bringing players to Paradise, but it seems his client Bitton, will be moving on this summer.

Speaking on Sport 5 radio station, as quoted by the Daily Express Dahan said:

We have had interest in Nir from English Premier League sides. Celtic have been approached, but right now is not the right time. The market price for him is not less than £10m. Some players in the Premier League are not as good as him and have been bought and sold for a lot more money. He will go to the Premier League – but in the summer, not in January. Nir currently still has a lot of achieve with Celtic and he has a contract in Scotland up until 2020.

Bitton joined Celtic in 2013 from FC Ashdod for a fee worth around £700,000.

During his time in a Hoops shirt so far, Bitton has won two league titles and the Scottish League Cup, and will be hoping Celtic can complete the domestic treble for the first time since 2001.

The 24-year-old has made 60 appearances thus far for Celtic, scoring some stunning goals in his time including one earlier this season against Kilmarnock.

His value is expected to at least 15 times his initial transfer to Celtic, with his former side receiving 20% through a sell-on clause.

Bitton will join a growing list of players moving to the Premier League, as Forster, Wanyama, van Dijk, Matthews, Ledley and Hooper, all making the move down south in the last three years.
