Leicester City reportedly want James Forrest of Celtic.
Forrest has been on the books of Celtic his entire professional club football career so far and is a key figure in the team.
The 28-year-old winger has won the Scottish Premiership title eight times with Celtic, the Scottish Cup on five times and the Scottish League Cup on four occasions with the Hoops.
Celtic boss Lennon has suggested that the Scotland international wants to extend his contract, with his current deal running until 2022.
Lennon told The Scottish Sun: “He wants to extend his contract, which is great. Rather than talking about people leaving the club we’ve got one there who wants to stay. So that’s one we will look at.
“I think he’s still got two years left on his deal but we’ve already talked about an extension. He’s a top, top player. He’s been brilliant and at 28 he’s at his peak.”
Blow for Brendan Rodgers and Leicester City
Lennon’s aforementioned comments will come as a blow to Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers.
According to The Times, Leicester want to sign the Scotland international in the summer transfer window, with the winger valued at £10 million.
Rodgers worked with the 28-year-old during his time at Celtic and reportedly wants the winger at the King Power Stadium next season.
