Celtic turn down Hammers approach for Hedman

Martin O’Neill has confirmed Celtic have received an enquiry from West Ham regarding Magnus Hedman – but the Hoops boss insists the goalkeeper is going nowhere.

The Hammers are in the market for a new keeper following the sale of England number one David James to Manchester City.

Hedman has fallen behind Rob Douglas in the Celtic pecking order in recent weeks, but O’Neill is still reluctant to allow the Swedish international to join the Hammers.

O’Neill said: “Yes, we’ve had an enquiry from West Ham, but we didn’t take it any further.

“I don’t think we are in the position of letting players go – we have a big season ahead.”
