Ghanaian striker Patrick Twumasi has finally revealed the reasons for turning down the opportunity to join Celtic and instead signed for Spanish side Deportivo Alavés.
The 26-year-old, who currently plays for Turkish club Gazişehir Gaziantep, on loan from Alavés, attracted interested from the Scottish giants after excelling in a Europa League match against them.
The striker scored two goals for Astana in their famous 4-3 win over Celtic in Kazakhstan in 2017.
“I remember I had an offer from Celtic, they really wanted me when I was in Astana because I played against them in the Champions League game and I did very well,” he said as quoted by 442gh.com
“Rogers spoke to me after the game and after some days he got my number and called me. He told me he wanted me at the Club.
“Even though I was interested I was weighing the options on the table together with my agent and it happened that we settled on Alaves.
“Maybe Celtic would have been good for me but you never know, such things are bound to happen sometimes.”
Twumasi has been one of the consistent players for Gazişehir Gaziantep Gaziantep this term, scoring five goals and registering eight assists in 15 games thus far.
