Reo Hatate seeks Celtic exit with growing interest from clubs

Celtic midfielder Reo Hatate has reportedly submitted a transfer request as he looks to leave the club this summer. Interest in the Japanese player is rising, particularly from English Championship side West Ham United, as well as clubs from France and MLS. Martin O’Neill, recently appointed as Celtic's manager, indicated he would not inhibit Hatate's desire to move on, suggesting a significant shift in the team's roster. Hatate's tenure at Celtic included notable moments, but recent performances may have contributed to this decision.
