Forster not joining Benfica insists Celtic's Lennon

Fraser Forster will not be leaving Celtic to join Benfica this summer.

They are the sentiments of Hoops boss Neil Lennon who reportedly told Sky Sports that he has absolutely no plans to sell the 25-year old goalkeeper.

Forster joined the Scottish champions permanently last summer after two successful seasons on loan from Newcastle United and is not about to be offloaded as Lennon's side strive to make the Champions League for the second straight campaign.

Forster impressed Benfica boss Jorge Jesus with his performances in Europe's premier club competition last season as the Glasgow giants progressed to the Round of 16 where they were eliminated by Juventus.
