Celtic star rules out Brescia move

Celtic midfielder Efrain Juarez insists he is not close to joining Italian side Brescia on loan.

The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with a loan move away from the Hoops this month.

“I was very surprised to hear this rumour. I went to train, then I had a sleep in the afternoon. When I woke up, my phone was ringing like crazy,” he told the Daily Record.

“Even my dad phoned to ask what was happening about Brescia.

“I am absolutely not aware of any transfer to Italy. I remain at Celtic. ”

Juarez signed a four-year contract with Celtic when he joined the club last summer.
