Neil Lennon believes a Celtic move is best for Cliftonville star

Celtic hero Neil Lennon believes rising Cliftonville star Sean Moore should choose Celtic over West Ham if he wants to develop as a young player.

Moore has had an exceptional season for the Northern Ireland outfit and at just 17 years-old is seen as one of the brightest talents on the island.

It's understood West Ham have made a number of offers for the young striker but Cliftonville are holding out for a higher amount.

Celtic, Newcastle United, Stoke City and Sunderland are all reportedly interested in securing the services of Moore but the Hammers are the only side to have made a solid offer.

Speaking to Boylesports Neil Lennon said, "I think Sean Moore should come to Celtic. Celtic are renowned for developing players and I’m sure he will be familiar with the club’s history. I think he will feel more at home. West Ham are a good club with a great manager but at this stage in his career, Celtic is the better move for him."

Moore is expected to feature in Cliftonville's clash with Linfield on Saturday evening.
