Celtic trio Stuart Armstrong, Leigh Griffiths and Jozo Simunovic have been linked with exits.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told the Daily Mail that he isn’t worried about speculation linking three of his players with moves to England.
The Bhoys have been simply sensational in Scottish football since Rodgers’ appointment in 2016, and they have lost just the one competitive game under Rodgers so far.
Celtic’s amazing performances have triggered interest in a number of Bhoys players, and speculation is ramping up with the January transfer window now open.
The rumours surrounding Moussa Dembele were to be expected, but three more Celtic players have been linked with moves to the Premier League this month.
The Sunday Post reported over the weekend that Southampton are plotting a £10million swoop for midfielder Stuart Armstrong, having developed massively under Rodgers’ tutelage.
Meanwhile, the Daily Record claim that Crystal Palace want to bring in Celtic defender Jozo Simunovic, and could offer around £8million for the Bosnian international.
With the Daily Mail also claiming that Swansea City are interested in signing Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths, meaning the Bhoys have to try and fend off a host of Premier League clubs this month.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has now been asked about the situation, and told the Daily Mail that is relaxed about the rumours, as Celtic will charge ‘market value’ for their key players if they do receive any interest.
“I’m quite relaxed on it,” said Rodgers. “I think because of who we are and how we play, it is going to attract attention and that attention will ultimately lead to interest in players.
‘You never want to lose your best players, of course. But, like I’ve always said, if any player goes it will be for the market value. That’s where we see it,” he added.
