Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has warned Celtic off goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
Pardew has told Celtic to forget trying to net Forster for £2million in the summer.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon considered the bid to keep loan No 1 Forster beyond the end of the season.
Pardew told the Scottish Sun: "I certainly won't be accepting an offer of something like £2million from Celtic."
Pardew wants Forster to challenge Steve Harper and Tim Krul for the No 1 jersey at St James' Park.
He said: "The last time I spoke to Fraser I made it clear he'd be coming back for pre-season.
"I told him he will be given the chance to fight it out for a place in the first team.
"I don't want to bring in a new keeper because I expect the three we have to start pre-season."
