Neil Lennon makes Victor Wanyama Celtic transfer admission as he weighs up Tottenham twist

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has admitted he'd be interested in bringing back Victor Wanyama - but his current midfield might be so good he doesn't need to.

The Kenyan became a Parkhead icon during his first spell with the club, and is out of favour at Tottenham Hotspur .

That has led to rumours that he could be set for a return to Celtic , and the manager was quizzed on that prospect at today's AGM.

Lennon said: "(We're looking) for a player like Wanyama, it's about availability. They (Tottenham) have had a change of manager, then there's affordability.

"Would I like Wanyama in the building? Of course.

"But it may not be an area we are looking to add to because of the way the midfield is functioning.

"We are looking at the forward area, that may be the one area we are looking strengthen."

Wanyama has played just 24 minutes of Premier League football so far this season, and hasn't featured at all for Spurs since late September.

New manager Jose Mourinho doesn't appear to be keen to hand him a lifeline, with the 28-year-old not featuring in either of his two games so far.
