The former Hoops gaffer says the midfield talent pool would spell bad news for Eriksen at Parkhead
The Manchester United midfielder is heading into the final six months of his deal and looks increasingly likely to depart Old Trafford in the summer if not sooner. The rumour miller is heading into overdrive as the winter window opens for business in just a matter of weeks with Brendan Rodgers likely to be involved as he bids to add further depth to his champions.
Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest SPFL odds, Lennon said: "With the talent Celtic have at their disposal at the moment, I’m not sure that Christian Eriksen would get into the team. He is a classy player and always has been, but I’m not sure who he would come in to replace. You’d have to consider the wages he’d want as well. I can’t see it happening and I’m not sure it would suit the club at the moment.
He said: "In terms of depth, this is the best Celtic squad for a decade. The players look hungry and a good example is having three central defenders in Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty and Liam Scales who are interchangeable. Lennon as a player and manager has played and worked alongside some real top talents. But for him, only one man stands out and he insists watching his best bits would 'take your breath away' and hailed him an 'exceptional football'.
