Hasselbaink linked to Celtic

CHELSEA striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is weighing up his options before deciding on a new club.

The forward is free to leave Stamford Bridge after reaching an agreement with the west London club. Scottish champions Celtic have already been strongly linked with the Holland international but the player’s agent, Humphry Nijman, is refusing to rule out any club.

He said: “We have an agreement with Chelsea and Jimmy is now a free agent. We will move things forward from there. ”There are quite a few interested clubs. There is interest from Scotland and Jimmy is very willing to listen to what is said.

“One club has already tabled an offer, although I am not willing to say where they are based.

“There is also a very lucrative proposal from Japan, but Jimmy is not keen on moving there. He has no preference as to which league he plays in.

“What he wants is to join an ambitious club who are moving forward.

“He is still very ambitious as a player and wants to go where he can win trophies,” said Mr Nijman.
