'exhausted' celtic target tells club he's leaving as 25 goal star drops mic

YOUSSEF EL KACHATI HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN SCOUTED BY CELTIC AND HE'S DEFINITELY ON THE MOVE THIS SUMMER 10:15, 02 Jun 2025 Youssef El Kachati has told Dutch minnows Telstar he's

leaving as Celtic interest rises in the 25-goal star. The Moroccan striker helped his club win promotion back to the Eredivisie for the first time since 1978 after he scored home and away

against Willem II in a promotion play-off to take his tally for the season to 25 in 45 games, including five in the six play-offs games. He's out of contract and has been linked with a

move to the Hoops, Schalke and NEC Nijmegen, with Parkhead spies reportedly having watched him in recent matches. He's primarily a striker but has played off both wings this season and

offers a versatile attacking option that may appeal to Brendan Rodgers. And the 25-year-old made it clear he will have plenty of offers. He ended the season with an incredible run of nine

goals in ten games and now he's eyeing a big move abroad. Article continues below He said: "I knew this would be my last match in the Telstar shirt, so I gave it my all and

didn't want to get knocked out this time "I'm completely exhausted. Even if they have to take me off the field on a stretcher, I just wanted to go to the Eredivisie with these

guys so badly. "NEC would really like to have me, that's true. That's one of the clubs I can go to, but there are more clubs in the running. "I'm going to enjoy the

celebration and then I'll slowly make a decision together with my agent. This is really deserved, we fought so hard for each other." Follow _RECORD SPORT_ on Twitter, Facebook and
