Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths is reportedly on the radar of Erzurumspor.

Leigh Griffiths of Celtic is seen during a training session at Lennoxtown on December 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has laughed off speculation linking him with a move to Erzurumspor in the summer transfer window on social networking site Twitter.

According to Transfer Merkezi, Turkish club BB Erzurumspor are in talks with Celtic striker Griffiths.

However, the Scotland international striker has dismissed the speculation with a simple one-word reaction on Twitter.

Staying at Celtic?

Griffiths is going to find it tough to play regularly for the Celtic first team next season due to competition for places, with Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard as the other two strikers in manager Brendan Rodgers’s squad

However, it is hard to see the 27-year-old former Wolverhampton Wanderers striker – who earns £18,000 per week as salary, according to The Daily Star – leave the Glasgow giants and move to Turkey in the summer transfer window.

The striker himself recently told The Scottish Sun that he is set to sign a new contract with Celtic, and the Celtic Park faithful need not worry about losing the 27-year-old this summer.
