Celtic's Korean midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng has attracted interest from several clubs but no offers according to Hoops boss Neil Lennon.

The Celtic boss made the revelation when speaking to BBC Sport but said those clubs were wasting their time as the Korea international wasn't for sale.

"I'm aware of interest but I'm not aware of any offers," Lennon said.

He added: "It doesn't surprise me that a number of clubs are looking at [Ki] and various other players but, for me, they would be wasting their time."

Ki has been a regular for Celtic during the 2011-12 season making 28 appearances in all competitions and helping the Hoops storm into top spot in the Scottish title race.

The former FC Seoul man, who turns 23 on January 24, was linked with struggling Premier League club Blackburn Rovers and an unknown Russian club in August.
