West Ham will face stiff competition to sign Javier Saviola as Celtic boss Neil Lennon looks to replace Gary Hooper, seemingly bound for either Norwich or QPR.

The Glasgow side are keen to replace Hooper as soon as possible, with a Champions league qualifier against Cliftonville looming large on and are ready to make a move for free agent Saviola, with the former Scunthorpe star likely to leave by the end of the week, according to Lennon.

Lennon today said on the Hooper situation: "It will be difficult to convince Gary to stay. I don't know where his mind is at the minute- has he played his last game for Celtic? Never say never but it's looking more and more that way."
