Celtic midfielder Tom Rogic has been linked with a move away from Parkhead recently.

Neil Lennon has confirmed to the Scottish Sun that he wants Tom Rogic to be a Celtic player next season.

Rogic has been linked with an exit from Parkhead in recent times, with Celtic braced for offers.

The Scottish Herald claim that Celtic value the midfielder at £15 million, with Zenit St. Petersburg interested in signing him.

However, Lennon is not interested in the speculation and insists that he has no desire to sell the Australian international.

“It’s speculation at the moment as far as I’m concerned,” Lennon said.

“He is a good player and I want to keep all of my good players.”

Whether Celtic will be able to fend off interest in Rogic remains to be seen, but it would be a boost if they were able to.

Celtic are already in danger of losing Kieran Tierney and Olivier Ntcham this summer, as The Sun have reported, while Dedryck Boyata has already gone.

To lose four key players in the same summer would be a hammer blow to Lennon’s plans for next campaign.

The positive is that Celtic do look set to raise big money if they sell Rogic, which could allow them to reinvest in their squad.
