Neil Lennon claims Celtic hero Henrik Larsson was worth £100m as Parkhead legend compared to Cristiano Ronaldo

Neil Lennon reckons Henrik Larsson would go for £100MILLION in today's market - if Liverpool's price tag for Darwin Nunez is anything to go by.

Lennon teamed up with Larsson at Celtic and got a first-hand view of one of the greatest players ever to grace the Scottish game. Larsson's seven years at Parkhead saw him net an incredible 242 goals in 313 games and he stands at fourth on the list of all-time top scorers in top flight history.

The later years of Larsson's career were mixed though he went on to play for two of the biggest clubs in the world in Barcelona and Manchester United after leaving Parkhead on a free. But the four league titles he won at Celtic Park have seen him go down as one of the greats and Lennon reckons he'd be one of the most expensive players around if he was in his pomp today. Liverpool paid £75m to sign Nunez from Benfica and on that benchmark, Lennon rates his former teammate as a £100m player.
