The body of evidence that Patrick Roberts is the most talented player at Celtic is growing after Erik Sviatchenko added his voice to Callum McGregor's, revealing he views the Englishman as the Bhoys' most skilful performer. 

Roberts, who joined Celtic from Manchester City on a one-and-half-year loan deal during the winter transfer window, was in good form for the Hoops in the recently concluded season.




The winger scored six goals and provided two assists in 13 appearances in all competitions as the Bhoys went on to lift their fifth consecutive Scottish Premiership title.

And Sviatchenko, who is himself a winter signing, having joined Celtic from Danish outfit FC Midtjylland in January, thinks Roberts possesses the most skills amongst all the players at Paradise.
 


“Patrick Roberts”, he told Celtic TV, when asked who according to him is the most skilful player at the club.

Roberts, who was snapped up by Manchester City from Fulham last season, managed just 54 minutes of action over three games in all competitions before deciding to join Celtic in January in search of more playing time.

The 19-year-old is yet to earn a senior cap for England but has represented his nation up to Under-19 level.
