Brendan Rodgers confident he can get the best out of Oliver Burke | OneFootball

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers believes that Oliver Burke can go to the very top of the game but is “not yet the finished article”.

Burke joined the reigning Scottish champions this month on a six-month loan from West Brom.

The winger’s career hasn’t quite lived up to expectation after he left Nottingham Forest in 2016 to sign for RB Leipzig.

But Rodgers is confident he can get the best out of the 21-year-old after he came on for his Celtic debut at the weekend.

“He can be an exceptional player, not just for Celtic or West Brom but for his country too,” said Rodgers.

“There’s not too many players here who have the attributes he has – and can affect the game at the highest level.” the manager said.

“There are a number of positions Oli can play.

“We have to make his role clear. With young players worth a lot of money, sometimes they think they know the game.

“I love working with that kind of player to see if I can extract that bit more. I can see that with him.

“With that pace and power, hopefully we can give him another view of the game. That should see him improve as a player and, if he does, it’ll be great for Celtic.”
