Scottish champions Celtic say there has been no approach for Nir Bitton following reports the midfielder was set for a summer move to England.

The Israel international's agent Dudu Dahan is said to have told an Israeli radio station that a number of English clubs had contacted Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, saying: "Nir will go to the Premier League, but in the summer, not in January."

In a statement a Celtic spokesperson said: "We were delighted to agree a new contract recently with Nir and very pleased that he has committed his long-term future to Celtic.

"We know nothing about these reports but as Nir himself has said, Celtic is where he wants to be."

And Dahan said: "These reports are not correct, I have never said that Nir will leave Celtic. Nir has signed a new contract with Celtic and appreciates everything he has at Celtic.

"He loves the club and wants to be at Celtic for a very long time."
