Celtic have denied reports linking Nir Bitton with a move to the Premier League following speculation that the midfielder would be leaving the club at the end of the 2015/16 season.
Bitton's agent Dudu Dahan is reported to have told an Israeli radio station that the 24-year-old will be heading for England at the conclusion of this campaign.
"We were delighted to agree a new contract recently with Nir and very pleased that he has committed his long-term future to Celtic," a club spokesperson told Celtic's official website.
"We know nothing about these reports but as Nir himself has said, Celtic is where he wants to be."
"These reports are not correct, I have never said that Nir will leave Celtic," he said.
"Nir has signed a new contract with Celtic and appreciates everything he has there.
"He loves the club and wants to be at Celtic for a very long time."
Bitton has been influential in the heart of midfield for Ronny Deila's men this season, scoring six times in 23 appearances in all competitions.
