Otherwell chief Stuart Kettlewell says he isn’t shocked his “top rack” goalkeeper and commander Liam
Kelly is drawing in interest yetthe club needs to keep him at the club. Kelly, 28, is in the last month of his arrangement at Fir Park, and Celtic are accounted for to have added the Scotland global to their rundown of summer targets.
At the point when he got some information about expected interest from the Scottish prevalence pioneers, Kettlewell answered that chats with different clubs had “not been on the plan” with Kelly.”That’s certainly nothing I’ve spoken to Liam about,” the Motherwell boss said.
Kelly has played 40 times for Motherwell this season and also made his Scotland debut in a 4-1 friendly defeat by France last October, where he shared a half with Hearts goalkeeper Zander Clark.
The former Queens Park Rangers and Livingston keeper will be among those competing for three likely spots in Scotland’s Euro 2024 squad.
Celtic, meanwhile, are set to lose number one Joe Hart to retirement at the end of the season, while back-ups Scott Bain and Benjamin Siegrist could also leave.
“What wouldn’t surprise me is a goalkeeper of his stature and standing attracting interest, but Liam is someone I would love to keep at the football club,” Kettlewell added.
“But there are a number of factors that come into that. It could be a big summer for him, so we need to wait and see how that goes.”
