Hoops' N'Guemo hopes lifted by Nancy

01 June 2010 10:01
Celtic's bid to sign loan ace Landry N'Guemo has been boosted by his club Nancy after they extended his buy-out clause until next week.[LNB] The Parkhead club were originally given until 5pm on Monday to come up with the £1.8million that would secure the Cameroon midfielder on a permanent contract. [LNB]Their previous offer of £1.2million was rejected last month and they looked likely to lose out on Nguemo to an interested Premier League club such as Wigan or Sunderland. [LNB]But the French outfit have decided to hold off until Friday before N'Guemo is put on the open market. [LNB]If Neil Lennon is confirmed as the Hoops' new manager in the coming days, then one of his first jobs will be to make a decision over the midfielder. [LNB]"A manager would normally make the decision whether to take up a loan option but as Celtic haven't had a permanent manager it's been difficult," Nancy president Jacques Rousselot told the Daily Record. [LNB]"We understand this and because of the situation we will talk again with Celtic at the start of June."
