Lennon angered by Izaguirre exit talk
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has emphatically shot down suggestions the impressive form of Emilio Izaguirre could make it difficult to hold onto him this summer.
Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the Honduras left-back during his first season at Celtic Park.
Lennon's assistant, Johan Mjallby, later tipped Izaguirre to become one of the world's best left-backs and admitted he anticipated interest in the player.
But Izaguirre, who joined Celtic for £600,000 from Motagua in his homeland, insisted on Monday that he wanted to stay at Celtic.
And Lennon was in no mood to discuss the prospect of Izaguirre leaving during his media conference ahead of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trip to Inverness, as he interrupted a question on potential interest in the player.
"Listen, I know what you're going to ask me and you guys do it all the time," Lennon said. "As soon as we get a decent player in this club you want him out the door. He wants to stay, we want him to stay. He is on a three-year contract so I don't even know why we're having this discussion."
