Three players Celtic could sell in January 2020

Neil Lennon has a very large squad at his disposal as he looks to take Celtic to nine Scottish Premiership wins in a row, but here are three players that he may look to sell, in order to trim the wage bill:

Scott Sinclair

Despite being a crucial part of Celtic’s side during the Brendan Rodgers era – and indeed winning the 2016-17 Player of the Year award – Sinclair has become almost nearly surplus to requirements at Parkhead.

He is in the final year of his contract and plenty of English clubs have been linked with the former Manchester City attacker. If Celtic want to bring in a fee for Sinclair, their last chance will be to offload him in January.

Jack Hendry

Signed by Rodgers from Dundee, Hendry has managed just 27 appearances for Celtic in almost two years. He is way down the pecking order at Glasgow, behind the likes of Kris Ajer, Christopher Jullien, Nir Bitton, Jozo Simunovic and plenty more.

A loan move is likely in January, with both Scottish clubs and English sides being linked with the Scotland international in the past. Remaining in the Scottish Premiership is likely to give him the best chance of breaking back into Scotland’s side.

Kouassi Eboue

It has been a nightmare spell for the Ivory Coast international at Celtic. Just a handful of outings, an anterior cruciate ligament injury and the form of Scott Brown – and his never-ending stamina – suggests he has no chance of making it at Celtic.

The likes of Callum McGregor, Bitton and plenty of others are above the former Krasnodar man in the pecking order. Neil Lennon recently admitting he wants Victor Wanyama is proof that Eboue’s exit needs to happen sooner rather than later.
