Revealed : Olympiakos Are NOT Interested In Signing Celtic Stopper Efe Ambrose

Published: July 27, 2016

Reports linking Nigeria international Efe Ambrose with a move to Greek Super League champions Olympiakos are wide of the mark.

It has been claimed that the Celtic stopper would be joining The Reds on a season-long loan deal this summer, with option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the 2016-2017 campaign.

Highly respected Greek journalist Dimitris Vergos, who is close to the leadership of Olympiakos, has revealed that Ambrose is not on the radar of the club at the moment but they may be on the lookout for a defensive reinforcement before the close of the window, with Manuel da Costa being linked with a move to the Premier League.

“These are rumours and it’s only being reported by the Nigerian media . There’s nothing like that in Greece. Most likely the rumours were planted by Efe Ambrose’s agent,” said Vergos to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“ Olympiakos defender Manuel da Costa may leave to join a Premier League club and they’ll be short in defense.

“This moment, Efe Ambrose is not on Olympiakos wishlist. ”

Ambrose, 27, is in the final twelve months of his contract with Scottish club Celtic.
