Lennon urges Cardiff to improve Wanyama offer

Celtic boss Neil Lennon urges Cardiff City to come back with bigger offer for Victor Wanyama.

Speaking from his pre-season training camp in Germany, Neil Lennon has called upon the Bluebirds to match Southampton's £12m bid for their star player.


Celtic boss Neil Lennon has urged Cardiff City to come back with a bigger offer for Kenyan star Victor Wanyama.

Speaking after the Bhoys' 1-0 pre-season defea t to Ukrainian outfit FC Sevastopol in Germany, Lennon said: “Cardiff are in for Victor but they have not made a concrete offer yet to us.

“I'm not convinced the terms of the offer they're looking at are what we want.”

The Bluebirds offered £10m for the midfield maestro the week before last, while Premier League rivals Southampton offered £12m.

But the package the South Wales club are offering appear to be more attractive to the 22-year-old.

Sources close to Cardiff suggest they are planning a second bid of £11m for the man who scored a Champions League goal against Barcelona last season.

Of the second bid, Lennon said: “They are coming in again I think but as things stand, he's our player.”

Wanyama will fly out to Germany to join the Celts today and will prepare for the Champions League qualifier against Irish outfit Cliftonville.

Keen to make the maximum out of any deal for the club, Lennon was keen not to rule The Saints out of the running for his star player by saying: “We'll see Victor when he joins up with us today and take it from there.

“We accepted one bid previously and that's the level we are looking at.

“Southampton may come back again so I wouldn't rule them out of the running either.”

tell him to piss off !

tell him to piss off !

Agreed. Lennon knows he is leaving and is trying to push the price up.

He is an unknown (to most of us) player from a c**p league.
He has dodgy agents and a not very loyal attitude, he claims he is loyal but tried to leave Celtic after just 1 year and is definitely leaving after 2 years.
Being in the SPL he is used to winning and being a big fish in a little pond, what will he be like when he is a nobody, that is regularly losing in a huge league?

thats why he wont come to the prem for a job ,he wont be good enough,like you say hes used to winning every week in a crap league.

he hasnt travelled carl has told us yesterday

Dont need carl to tell me it was on sky and other media outlets ,common knowledge .

f**k OFF

Neil trying to make out he's in charge of this situation! Tra son balls fully in Wanny's court with this one!

If he's good enough PAY IT !
