Everton linked with Celtic striker Samaras

Everton are being linked with off contract striker Giorgios Samaras.

Scottish media sources say Celtic face competition from Lazio, Sevilla, Hamburg and Everton if they want to re-sign Greece forward Samaras.

Samaras was at Celtic for six-and-a-half years but failed to reach an agreement on a new contract before heading to the World Cup.

The 29-year-old said an emotional farewell at Celtic Park on the final day of last season but last week his advisor Gregory Ioannidis took to Twitter to state: "It is not too late for Celtic to do the deal."
