Linfield boss David Healy joked that he "wouldn't mind" seeing Conor McMenamin leave Glentoran this summer - so he doesn't have to face the winger in the Irish Premiership.
McMenamin impressed in a late cameo for Northern Ireland against Kazakhstan on Monday night.
He came close to scoring shortly after coming on as a second half substitute, only to be denied by Igor Shatskiy who tipped away the Glens winger's rasping left-foot strike.
