Deila insists Aston Villa target Johansen not leaving Celtic

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has denied rumours linking Hoops midfielder Stefan Johansen with a move to Aston Villa.

The Scottish press is reporting Villa are preparing to table a £5million offer for the 25-year-old, who is also understood to be the subject of interest of a handful of German clubs.

However, Deila was quick to quash those rumours, claiming Johansen is not for sale.

"We want to keep every player here. Stefan Johansen is staying here and we want to keep him, of course," Deila said.
