Could Gary Hooper score goals in the Premier League? (Video)
Having just turned down a bid of around £5 million, Celtic will be hoping to keep hold of their goal machine Gary Hooper.
The offer came from Norwich City, who are looking to bolster their attack after being left short with injuries to Grant Holt and Steven Morison. The Canaries have done well to avoid the relegation dog-fight again so far this season, but manager Chris Hughton is aware that losing either of their main strikers for a period of time could leave them in trouble.
With 50 goals in 95 appearances for Scunthorpe United, Hooper boasted an incredible goal-scoring record of better than a goal every other game. This earned the former non-league striker a move to Scottish giants Celtic, where he has gone on to find the net even more than during his time in North Lincolnshire.
Top goal-scorer at his respective club every year since 2009, last season saw Hooper win the Scottish Premier League Golden Boot. He was also named in the SPFA SPL Team of the Year for the second year in a row.
He may have proven himself in the Championship and Scotland’s top flight, but does Gary Hooper have what it takes to shine in the world’s most intense league?
