PATRICK ROBERTS has told Celtic fans he sees his future away from the club after this season.

The midfielder dropped the bombshell on some of the fans who still held out hope that he would sign on a permanent basis this summer.

Celtic tried to sign Paddy on a permanent deal last year but their advances were rebuffed by Man City.

Due to injury and James Forrest’s form this season, the Englishman has seen very little game time and he wants to make up for lost time next season in the Premier League.

“You have to look at the bigger picture, for myself, I have bigger ambitions in my head and the places I want to be”

“I need to come out my comfort zone and try and reach some targets”

“But nonetheless playing for Celtic has been a dream come true, I’ve enjoyed every minute”

When asked if he wants to play in the Premier League next season the midfielder replied:

“Hopefully, being an English player and coming through the system my goal is to play for a top team in the Premier League”
