‘I want to strive harder,’ says Celtic-linked goalkeeper in response to transfer rumors at EFL Championship team.

The former St Mirren No.1 has been a standout for Ipswich Town this season and is on the Hoops’ radar

Václav Hladk has spoken out about his future at Ipswich Town after being linked with a January move to Celtic.

This season, the former St Mirren goalkeeper has been a star for the EFL Championship side as they seek promotion to the Premier League. The Czech Republic goalkeeper has appeared in all 26 league games for the Tractor Boys, maintaining nine clean sheets.

Following a season at Salford City, the 33-year-old went to Portman Road in the summer of 2021, but with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, the Scottish champions have showed an interest in him as a potential long-term successor for Joe Hart.

The Hoops can open talks with the player over a potential summer deal this month and while Hladký has claimed that it is pleasing to see his good performances between the sticks being recognised, he insists his sole focus is on achieving a place in the top-flight on English football.

 

 

Addressing transfer speculation, Hladký told the East Anglian Daily Times: “If you are in a good position and playing well in the Championship and obviously the team is doing well, that’s something which makes other clubs interested.

“I think everybody in this squad can go and play anywhere else. It’s nice, it’s good to hear and listen, I’m just going to carry on and I want to push more. I believe there is a lot more to deliver and it’s great to be in that position.

“Obviously, it’s an honor to be in this position, and I want to give it my all in every game.” I don’t want to plan too far ahead. I’m constantly looking forward to the next one, and that’s what we do every week.”
