Markus Henriksen to Celtic?

Looks like Celtic seem to be interested in one of our targets according to the bbc.


Celtic manager Neil Lennon confirms Henriksen interest

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has confirmed his interest in Rosenborg midfielder Markus Henriksen but there has been no contact between the clubs.

Lennon revealed Celtic must release players before recruiting others.

"We have not made any contact with the club yet but he is a player we admire," Lennon said after the 2-0 defeat by Norwich in Adam Drury's testimonial.

"We do like the player, but I do not know if we will be able to get a bid going in the next few days or not."

Henriksen, 19, has played six times for Norway, having become a Rosenborg regular in 2010.

"We have got a bit of work to do with trimming the squad before we can possibly even think about bringing players in, but we have targets for three or four positions," added Lennon.

I said this

Not quite sure if Celtic can afford him at the moment....they need to sell first before they can buy players. Where as Villa havent got a manager in place, so they wont be pursuing any targets.

I know its a long shot, but if we can match his wages anything can happen. No offence to the Norwegian league, its the equivalent of the English Championship.

Anyways havent seen anything official from our clubs behalf in approaching the player, as it all stands, its just internet rumours, or Rosenborg trying to generate interest in order to create a bidding war.

Thats a load of crap him to celtic
