Spanish club in for Samaras - Lennon
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has admitted that Spanish club Hercules Almelo have made a move to sign Georgios Samaras.
Paddy McCourt, who scored along with Samaras in Celtic`s 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders on Sunday, is also the subject of interest and has been offered a new contract.
Lennon may also decide to keep "enigma" Samaras, who played just three games, and two of those off the bench, after Celtic`s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Ross County in April.
But the Greece striker has returned from the World Cup in impressive form, also scoring from the spot against Manchester United in Toronto.
The coach of La Liga newcomers Hercules, Esteban Vigo, has admitted he is keen to sign the 25-year-old Samaras and Lennon and chief executive Peter Lawwell now have a decision to make.
"I think they have put a bid in, but I don`t know how much for," Lennon said. "I don`t know how concrete it is, I`ve not spoken to Peter Lawwell. Sami is a bit of an enigma, really. But he certainly gave us food for thought after Toronto."
