Nancy players still on wish list
Neil Lennon is not about to pay over the odds for anybody. Celtic do not agree with the price placed on Landry Nguemo's head to make the loan deal one of a motre permanent nature. This looks to have put paid to that deal but their is another midfield players from teh French side that still interests the Hoops. Nguemo's team-mate and fellow defensive midfielder Alfred N'Diaye has impressed for the French club since breaking into the first team 18 months ago. While Celtic bid £1.2million for Nguemo, Nancy are looking for their valuation of £2million-plus. The likes of Wigan, Stoke and Birmingham are all waiting in the wings regarding the fate of the 24-year-old, who is currently at the World Cup with Cameroon. Nancy sporting director Nicolas Holveck said: "We spoke to Celtic at the start of the week regarding Nguemo and, following that discussion, I now believe he won't be joining them next season. There is quite a difference in opinion over our valuation of the player and theirs and because there is other interest from England I would expect him to move elsewhere. We have been having discussions with English sides regarding Landry for more than a week now, but there is no panic over his sale." Holveck revealed there had alsobeen talks with Celtic about N'Diaye, who is reportedly valued at £2.5million. Holveck said: "There have been discussions with Celtic over Alfred N'Diaye and there is an interest there in the player. But there will be absolutely no loan deal struck: it's either a completed transfer or nothing as he is a valuable player. He will also cost them more than Landry Nguemo as he is only 20 and already a France (youth) international with vast potential."
