Celta Expect Ghilas Sale

Spanish second division outfit Celta Vigo still expect Kamel Ghilas to leave the club this summer. Ghilas was all set to sign for Blackburn last week before the deal fell through at the last minute. Blackburn Claimed there was an issue with the players medical and wanted the transfer fee reduced.

"It is not true that there is a physical problem with the player, the issue is down to money," said Celta's general manager Antonio Chaves.

"We reached an agreement with Blackburn, and then they wanted to change things at the last minute.

"Because of this the operation has broken down."

Hull have been linked with the player since January and Portsmouth and Bolton are also rumoured to be interested in the player.
