Matt O'Riley Celtic transfer update as Postecoglou plays it cool with 'not seen anything' statement

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou believes a big season awaits Matt O'Riley after reports emerged Leicester City are interested in his services.

Reports from down south suggest that former Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers has put the 21-year-old on his Foxes transfer wish list. O'Riley joined Celtic in January from English League One side MK Dons and has impressed in a major way since moving to the Premiership champions. It's saw him elevated to the Danish youth team and he will be in the running for a spot at the World Cup this winter if form continues, especially on the Champions League stage.

Postecoglou isn't worried about speculation and says O'Riley doesn't seem bothered by it: “I’ve not seen anything from Matt to suggest he’s thinking about these things. The players know why big clubs might come in for them. It’s not because we’ve given them publicity – it’s the work they do, day in and day out.

"He’s got a lot more in him – they all do. That’s my job. For anyone here to be past their best, they might as well not be here.

"My job is to get more out of them. Obviously he had a big season here last year. He established himself at first team level at MK Dons and then with us.

"He’s just beginning his career. We'll push him to be the best he can possibly be, as we do with all of them, because that’s what’s required here.”
