Celtic boss Lennon denies Ajer sale claims

Celtic boss Neil Lennon insists there's no plans to sell Kristoffer Ajer this summer.

The Norwegian's agent Tore Pedersen has claimed the 21-year-old defender would be making a big-money move at the end of the season. Leicester City and Tottenham have been linked.

But Lennon said: “I've heard about the comments and I'm aware of it.

"At the end of the day the club will decide when players go, not agents or players themselves.

“Kris has never made any indication he wants to leave. He's happy here, he has been playing very well, he has been very consistent.

“I think the agent has shot himself in the foot there. We have Kris tied down to a long-term contract so we'll decide and not anyone else.

“There hasn't been any interest in him that I'm aware of, certainly no one has called me about him."
