Some Celtic fans have made their opinions known about Ismaila Soro wanting to possibly join Liverpool in the future.
Soro’s signature by the Parkhead-based side was confirmed last night, as the club handed the Ivorian a four-year deal. The Scottish Sun has reported that the midfielder has arrived at the club for a fee of £2million.
Are you unhappy with Soro's intention to play for Liverpool?
Yes
No
In an interview with Israeli website One after signing, Soro admitted that signing for Liverpool is his ultimate dream and he would want to move to the Premier League in the future.
ReadCeltic asked Hoops fans about whether they were happy about Soro’s comments and they made their opinions very clear.

Naive to make a public comment like that before you even arrive at #Celtic but then he’s a young player…with the right people around him, he’ll learn to do his talking on the pitch.

If he ends up being good enough.. it will mean he has been a top top player for Celtic.

Wits the problem? He’s ambitious, I’m not saying it’ll happen but you want players who want to get to the top,

The 21-year-old was a regular in midfield for his former club Bnei Yehuda. This season, the Ivorian made 24 appearances in all competitions for the club. He couldn’t score or assist even once, but he was a constant in defensive midfield.
The same was the case last season when Soro made 35 appearances in all competitions for the club. He got two assists, with both of them coming in the Israeli League. 32 of his appearances came in defensive midfield, with others coming in central midfield.
What do we think?
Soro’s comments show how ambitious a player he is and how much he wants to succeed in the United Kingdom. He has to perform well for the club in the next few months and make a mark before any move to England comes.
