Lennon will test the water before dipping feet into transfer pond

CELTIC manager Neil Lennon i s not sure he needs to make any new signings ahead of their quest for 10 consecutive titles.

And the Hoops boss will wait and see how t he transfer market develops amid t he coronavirus pandemic.

Lennon i s set to lose loan players Fraser F o r s t e r, M o h a m e d Elyounoussi and Moritz Bauer while the likes of Jonny Hayes and Craig Gordon are soon out of contract.

Lennon would no doubt be keen to keep Forster if a deal can be done with Southampton and he has other players in his squad who could offer more next term.

January signings Ismaila Soro and Patryk Klimala have yet to establish themselves and the likes of right-back Hatem Abd Elhamed and striker Vakoun Bayo were j ust coming back from injury when the Covid-19 crisis caused a suspension and now termination of the season.

Much could depend on how much interest develops in top goalscorer Odsonne Edouard and the Celtic manager is happy to survey the scene.

Lennon said: “We don’t know how the transfer window is going to look and what length of time it will be, and what t he budget is going to be, and what other clubs’ budgets are going to be as well.

“I am really happy with the squad, I am not sure we need to do a lot of rebuilding at all, if at all.

“But again you don’t know what the landscape is going to look like with bringing players in.

Lennon continued: “June 10 is the mandate, we can star t training back i n groups, whether t hat changes between now and then we don’t know but that’s what we are aiming for.”

Neil Lennon is already looking to next season.
