Celtic boss Lennon confident keeping Brighton, Aston Villa target Edouard

Celtic boss Neil Lennon is confident keeping hold of Odsonne Edouard.

The £30million-rated Hoops striker has been out of sorts recently and a host of Premier League clubs want him, including Aston Villa and Brighton.

Lennon said: “We don't want Odsonne to go, obviously, and we have had no significant interest in him as yet.

“There's always a bit of agitation when the window is open, but speaking to him he seems content enough.

"He didn't have his best of games in Latvia in midweek, but that's fine.

“Odsonne is a human being at the end of the day. He's 22.

“He didn't have the best of games, but we know what we have got here with Odsonne.

“We know what a talent he is. He is a quality player."
