The Celtic manager knows the Kenyan's agent, Rob Moore, and is willing to speak to him directly in an attempt to restart negotiations, which have reached an impasse.

Wanyama is under contract until 2015, and the club are comfortable that, even with widespread interest in the 21-year-old midfielder from top clubs in England, they remain in control of the situation. However, Lennon can see the benefit of having Wanyama tied down for longer, and is ready to throw his weight behind this.
