Lennon Miller transfer latest as Celtic 'eye summer move but record fee required'

Celtic are reportedly continuing their transfer interest in Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller.

The Fir Park ace, 18, was linked with a possible transfer switch during the winter transfer window but a transfer approach was rebuffed.

However, The Daily Record claim Celtic are "keeping close tabs" on Miller, who returned to action on February 15 after an injury issue kept him out for six league matches.

Miller - who is a Scotland under-21 internationalist - has also been touted for a move to Europa with German side Eintracht Frankfurt interested.

Celtic, though, remain keen on the player with the report stating scouting reports are regularly filed to Brendan Rodgers with club chiefs aware of other interested clubs.

Motherwell rejected bids for Miller from Udinese and Union Saint-Gilloise in the January window. Miller is out of contract at the end of next season but it's claimed club chiefs will "likely consider offers" for the key player instead of losing him for free.

It's thought Motherwell would demand a record transfer fee for Miller in excess of the £3m fee Celtic paid for David Turnbull.

On transfer speculation over January, while he was recovering from injury, Miller told the Motherwell Times: "My aim was to get back fit. That stuff takes care of itself, and I was just trying to get focused to get back on the pitch and play for Motherwell.

"It's obviously not nice to get injured, and for it to be longer than I first expected it to be is a tough one, but you've got to get your head down. You've got to work hard and come back as fit as possible, and then build up from there."
