Mixu hopeful about Fletcher
01 Feb 2009 - 11:52:23
Hibernian boss Mixu Paatelainen is hopeful of fending off an approach from Celtic for Scotland striker Steven Fletcher.
The Bhoys are reported to have offered around £3million for the 21-year-old frontman, who has scored 47 goals in 176 appearances for the Easter Road club.
Paatelainen commented: "I am confident he will stay here.
"I don't think it's difficult for him to be honest, from a players' point of view he realises he is doing things right.
"Eventually in football there is a time when a player moves on. I don't feel the time is right yet. I have had a chat with him and told him I don't think it's the right time.
"It's not entirely in my hands because you have to take things like finances into account, too, but we are in a position that we don't have to sell anyone."
