Celtic have negotiated a six-figure fee for Conor Hazard, a player considered surplus to requirements [RecordSport]. Plymouth Argyle, the newly-promoted English Championship team, is on the brink of finalising this deal, marking a significant chapter in the club’s history and Hazard’s career.
The agreement has been settled upon by both Celtic and Plymouth. Fans previously believed Hazard was out of contract this summer, but he had signed a year extension to his Celtic deal before his loan move to Helsinki.
For Hazard, this move represents a golden opportunity to reignite his career and secure the regular first-team football he craves. The 25-year-old Northern Irish international, a product of the Celtic academy, has been with The Hoops for nine years. Despite his potential, Hazard finds himself behind Joe Hart, Scott Bain, and Benjamin Siegrist.
However, Hazard’s tenure at Celtic was not without its moments of glory. He was the hero of the final when The Hoops lifted the 2019-20 Scottish Cup, a memory that the Celtic faithful will forever cherish. His departure, therefore, will be tinged with a touch of sadness for those who have watched him grow and develop at the club.
Plymouth are set to acquire a talented goalkeeper eager to prove his worth. It’s a win-win situation for all parties involved, and we wish him all the best.
