Lennon: no last minute sales

Neil Lennon insists that Celtic won’t be left high and dry during the transfer window.

Victor Wanyama and Gary Hooper are certain to attract bids next month on the back of their Champions League displays.

The 31st of January is one of the most dramatic days of the football year but Lennon won’t be pushed into any deals that will leave Celtic short for the remainder of the season.

“If it is the last day of the window, it is too late,” he stated dealing with transfer speculation. “I would not have time to replace anyone, but clubs have all month to put a bid in.

“It does happen but it will not happen here, not to any of our major players anyway but I admit I am pretty confident going into the window because we don’t need to sell.

“Everyone has their price and I think I will have a say in the decision if a huge bid comes in for any of the players but I don’t want them to leave.

“I want them to see this season out anyway, and try and make a real fist of the competitions.

“There are not many teams still going on four fronts, including the Champions League, with half the season gone.”

With the money pouring in from the Champions League Celtic are in a position to strengthen their squad with Lennon hopeful of bringing in a few new faces to freshen his squad up.

He added: “There are a couple of positions we would like to strengthen, the left-hand side either full-back or wide-area but if I don’t add to it I am pretty happy with what I have.”
