Lennon Miller cool on Celtic transfer interest as Sunderland join hunt for Motherwell sensation
The starlet is into the final 12 months of his contract at Fir Park and is not short of suitors Scotland new boy Lennon Miller has insisted his focus is more on pre-season with Motherwell than speculation over his future. Celtic are keeping close tabs on Miller's situation and were in contact with the Fir Park board in the last window. The talented teenager has also been linked with a list of European clubs including Eintracht Frankfurt and Royal Union St Gilloise. And English Premier League new boys Sunderland are also monitoring the playmaker's situation. All-action midfielder Miller is into the final year of contract with the Lanarkshire side. Michael Wimmer, before he left the Fir Park hot seat, predicted Miller would be sold this summer but the player is still in the dark over his future. He said: 'You never know. "I've got a year left on my contract so my focus is to go back into pre-season, work as hard as I can and get ready for the season. 'You get these big clubs mentioned, but it is only speculation. 'You just need to try and focus on what you're doing and that will all take care of itself.' The Steelman have already turfed out bids from Udinese and Gilloise.

Lennon Miller to Celtic transfer bid poised for relaunch as James Penrice scouted amid left back hunt
The Premiership champions made an attempt in January and are expected to try and tempt Motherwell into selling once more Celtic are expected to go back in for Lennon Miller. The Motherwell starlet made his Scotland debut in last Friday night's defeat to Iceland before being handed his start by Steve Clarke in the 4-0 thumping of Liechtenstein. Record Sport understands Celtic remain keen on Miller after an offer was reportedly rejected during the January transfer window as the Steelmen stuck to their guns over the midfielder. The Lanarkshire club also booted out a club record offer from Serie A side Udinese, which fell well short of their £4million valuation. Brendan Rodgers is a big fan of the teen talent and may well launch a fresh attempt to take him to Parkhead this summer. However, competition to land the teen talent is only going to get more intense. English Premier League new boys Sunderland are thought to be weighing up a £10million offer, which would smash Well' transfer sales record. Miller won't be short of options and Celtic's success or failure may depend on whether he is willing to remain in Scotland or keen to try his hand overseas. The success enjoyed by the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour, Josh Doig and former Fir Park teammate Max Johnson hasn't gone unnoticed, with young Scottish players seen as shrewd investment for ambitious clubs on the continent. Meanwhile, Celtic have scouted Hearts' James Penrice, but won't necessarily pursue a deal for the left back. Penrice was a standout during a poor season for the Jambos last term after joining on a free transfer from Livingston. It's a position Celtic require more depth in, with Greg Taylor on the verge of joining PAOK in Greece on a two-year deal when his Parkhead contract expires. That leaves Kieran Tierney as the only senior option in that area after he made an emotional homecoming from Arsenal on a five-year deal.
