Celtic boss Ronny Deila hopeful of Stefan Johansen stay

Celtic manager Ronny Deila is hopeful that midfielder Stefan Johansen will stay at the club beyond the end of the season.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has claimed that he expects midfielder Stefan Johansen to remain at the club this summer.

The Norwegian has been linked with a move away from the Scottish champions, with the Bundesliga and the Premier League both thought to be possible destinations.

However, Deila has revealed that he wants to build the club's future around the 24-year-old Norwegian.

"He's a player I want to build a future around, one of them, and that's why I'm not so very interested in talking about a move to Germany or Italy or whatever it is," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "He has learned during his career, he has had periods that haven't been so fun, and not everything is about moving on.

"When you enjoy a place and enjoy being there a lot of players have to think about why they are good there, why am I enjoying it, because that's more important than fighting for the big money all the time and always moving on."

Celtic, who are currently five points clear at the top of the table, return to league action on Wednesday when they host Kilmarnock.
