The Celtic outcast Gustaf Lagerbielke has firmly intimated that he may seek a summer move abroad as he seeks more playing time.

 

The 24-year-old was purchased for £3 million from Elfsborg less than a year ago, but he has struggled to obtain regular first-team experience.

During his rookie season, he made only ten appearances across all competitions, as Brendan Rodgers’

favorite defensive partnership was Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Lagerbielke still had to contend with Stephen Welsh and Maik Nawrocki for a backup spot, and he frequently struggled to make the Hoops’ matchday squad.

By January, it appeared like he was going to join Lecce on loan, but the transfer to Serie A was cancelled at the last minute.

That caused more aggravation for the Swede, who admits there is still interest from Italy six months later and is willing to seek any options that will allow him to play football.
