Celtic
have conceded nine goals in their first two competitive matches of the season
putting the recently-appointed Strachan under immediate pressure from fans of
the Glasgow side.
The Celtic boss admits that he was pleased after watching the 23-year-old on
the first day of his week-long trail with the club but needs more time to assess
the player who was tipped for stardom by Diego Maradona after his impressive
performance at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina.
“He did well; there was a smile on his face, his English was good and I think
he enjoyed himself,” said Strachan to the official Celtic website.
“But I’ve no idea [whether he’ll be staying any longer]. I don’t think you’d
like me to judge you, as a journalist, on just one of your articles,” he
added.
Reports indicate that Du could be available for a transfer fee of 800,000
pounds (US$1.4 million) from Shanghai Shenhua. Speaking to Scottish daily The
Herald, the Chinese player expressed his admiration for the club and his desire
to secure a contract with the 1967 European champions.
“They are one of the most famous clubs in Europe; a team with fantastic
history,” said Du.
