LENNON MILLER has emerged as a shock target for big-spending Serie A side Como.
The Italians, managed by former Spain, Arsenal and Barcelona star Cesc Fabergas are, of course, ready to seal a £17.2million switch for Nicolas Kuhn from Celtic.
Now they are lining up a swoop for the £4.5million Scotland international midfielder, according to a report in the Scottish Sun.
ON THE BALL…Lennon Miller, watched by Celtic trio Luke McCowan, Alex Valle and Paulo Bernardo, takes control during the champions’ 3-0 win at Fir Park in October.
Miller was linked to the champions throughout last season, but Brendan Rodgers was spoiled for choice for middle-of-the-park operators with captain Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Arne Engels, Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan all vying for the three positions.
The Japanese ace has been involved in transfer speculation in recent months and if anything shakes loose, the Hoops gaffer will require reinforcements.
Championship sides Southampton and Ipswich Town, both relegated from the top flight last term, are also keeping tabs on Miller’s situation.
Despite the Parkhead links, Miller’s father Lee, a former Aberdeen, Middlesbrough, Kilmarnock and Falkirk forward, recently revealed his son’s preference to follow fellow-Premiership players Lewis Ferguson and Josh Doig and move abroad.
New Well head coach Jens Berthel Askou accepts his hottest property is certain to leave in this transfer window, but is likely to play him in tomorrow’s Premier Sports Cup opener at Clyde.
