Emir Kujovic admits he has been left disappointed by Halmstads' unwillingness to let him leave.

The Sweden U21 international was the subject of two bids from SPL giants Celtic during the January transfer window, but both offers were knocked back.

The first approach was dismissed as 'shameful' by chairman Ingemar Brostrom, while a second move also failed to match Halmstads' valuation of their highly-rated frontman.

Kujovic admits he would have welcomed the opportunity to secure a switch to Parkhead, but accepts there is little he can do about his current situation.

"Things aren't looking that good," he told Aftonbladet.

"What can I say? I am disappointed of course. It was a big club that wanted me, so I was up for it."

Ambition

Kujovic will now remain in Sweden until at least the summer, but the 21-year-old is refusing to give up on his dream of securing a move to a European powerhouse.

"I'll just have to work hard for Halmstad," he added.

"The goal is still to become a professional abroad, so hopefully I will make it next time."
