What has Brendan Rodgers said?

Speaking about Celtic’s recent Japan tour, Rodgers said: “20–odd years ago you would never have anticipated coming over to Japan and seeing so many shirts.

“Coming out here, it’s an amazing country with a huge population but to see so many Celtic supporters is incredible. I know some have travelled but you also see the locals and our Japanese players have created an interest.

“It’s been a great trip and we still have a couple of days to go and we have more hard work to do before we get back and I think the cooler temperatures will help speed up the intensity. But overall, it’s been a great trip.”

What has Julen Lopetegui said?

Things haven’t gone so well for Wolves this summer amid financial difficulties. Wolves boss Lopetegui said recently: “Unfortunately we have this situation. I am not a financial adviser of course but I am a coach and I know we need to be competitive in the Premier League.

“I hope that we are going to improve this situation because we need that. The players that are here, they’re committed but of course all of the rest is true.

“Unfortunately, the situation was reality, it was bad news for me of course. I’m trying in the summer; this is the plan A that we have and after that we have to adapt to the situation to the plan B, trying to think about the players that are cost effective signings in this situation.

“It is true that in this moment, we can’t develop the plan B either. We lost a lot of players, and it is true that we think the club want to sell more players. This situation, we need players to balance the squad and be competitive in the Premier League for sure.”
