Speaking immediately after Celtic’s 1-1 draw away to Cluj in Champions League qualifying, Parkhead manager Neil Lennon said: “I don’t know anything. I’ve said the last few days it wouldn’t surprise me [if Arsenal came back in for the player].
“If he goes, he goes with everyone’s best wishes. He’s an outstanding talent and a great kid.”
