Neil Lennon has questioned Sean Moore's anticipated move to West Ham United, and believes the youngster's career would blossom more at Celtic.
The Hoops look set to miss out on Moore's signature as the Hammers close in on a big-money move for the Cliftonville teenager.
It has been reported that the London Stadium club have agreed a fee in the region of £170,000 which could eventually stretch to £500,000 because of several clauses in the deal.

Moore has blasted onto the Irish Premiership scene this season, and last Saturday night the 17-year-old was named Young Player of the Year.
Celtic are one of several teams monitoring the progress of the teen winger, with the likes of Newcastle United, Everton, Brighton and Ipswich Town also chasing the youngster.
Former Celtic boss Lennon believes Moore would thrive with the Scottish Premiership champions.
Lennon told BoyleSports : "I think Sean Moore should come to Celtic. Celtic are renowned for developing players and I’m sure he will be familiar with the club’s history.
"I think he will feel more at home. West Ham are a good club with a great manager but at this stage in his career, Celtic is the better move for him."
