Norwich bid for Celtic's Kayal played down

Beram Kayal's advisor says there has been no official contact from Norwich City for the Celtic midfielder.

Kayal was watched by Canaries boss Chris Hughton recently prompting reports that he had emerged as a £5million target but the Israeli's uncle and informal advisor, Hamoudi Kayal, suggests there has been no formal approach from the Premier League club.

"Beram is back in Israel on holiday and thinking about staying fit and healthy and, hopefully, helping Celtic win the SPL and get past Juventus in the Champions League," he told the Daily Mail.

"It's no secret that the Norwich manager was in Glasgow the other night and we'll know in the coming days just how serious they are about wanting him.

"Of course, Beram would be disappointed to leave Celtic - but the chance to play in the English Premier League is every player's dream.

"However, you would have to ask Celtic or Pini Zahavi (Kayal's agent) if there are any formal talks between Celtic and Norwich."
