​West Brom boss Pardew against selling winger McClean

West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Pardew has stated that he has no intention of selling attacker James McClean.

McClean has been linked with a move to Celtic recently but Pardew has stated that he has no intention of allowing the Irishman to leave the Hawthorns during the January transfer window.

Pardew said: "We've had no bids. I don't see me moving him on or him wanting to go. I don't see that scenario. His performance level was high at West Ham, he got a good goal, although it was deflected, it was a hell of a run from the edge of our box.

"He'll be an important player from now until the end of the season. He's a character and I think that's important for this team as well. In terms of James' celebrations I'm not really on the same wavelength, he's very individual like that!"
