Yakin to move, but where?

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has already expressed an interest in the FC Basel midfielder but Irizik is trying to drum up interest as he seeks to get the best possible deal for his client.

"Hakan will go to Basle's training camp on 30 June and I will hold talks with the British clubs who are interested as soon as possible," he said. "He'd love to play for Celtic, but I will also negotiate with Liverpool.

"I have spoken to Mr Houllier three times, but at Anfield things take their time. Maybe it will turn out to be a case of whichever man moves first."
