Former Celtic star Neil Lennon feels Hoops legend Henrik Larsson would be worth "£100million plus" in the current transfer market.

The 51-year-old believes that the Swede would command a high asking price if he was playing at his peak today.

Lennon used Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez's move from Benfica as an example to back up his point.

Speaking to Celtic Odds, he said: "Henrik from his peak, so the ages of 28 onwards, you would be talking about £100million plus comfortably.

"I really like Darwin Nunez at Liverpool, he wouldn’t be as prolific as Henrik, and he was £75m.

"So you would easily need to talk more for Henrik because of his ratio of goals to games.

"Henrik left Celtic on a free to join Barcelona and he more or less scored in every game when he played for them.

"He came on in the Champions League final against Arsenal in 2006 and changed the game.

"Then he went to Man United - at the age of about 35, 36 - and he wins the Premier League."

Lennon also went on to draw comparisons between his former team-mate and Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Northern Irishman believes Larsson was just as good in the air as the multiple-time Ballon d'or winner is now.

"The guy had everything, he was world class and I was fortunate enough to play with him for four or five years," he continued.

"Every time you sat in the dressing room, you would look at him and just know you had a chance in the game because he could score with either foot and he was unbelievable in the air.

"He used to hang like Cristiano Ronaldo, bearing in mind he wasn’t a particularly tall guy and didn’t have rippling shoulder muscles."
