Patrick Pentz has been linked with Celtic as a potential replacement for Joe Hart.

However, the Austrian goalkeeper has remained tight-lipped on his future for now.

Brendan Rodgers is in need of a new No.1 for next season with the former England and Manchester City stopped set to retire after the Scottish Cup final against Rangers.

Pentz is currently on loan at Brondby but is contracted to newly-crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. His contract at his parent club expires next summer.

A number of clubs have been touted with a move for the 27-year-old, including Celtic, with both PSV and Southampton also credited with holding an interest.

Pentz insists his future isn't entirely up to him, as he hinted that an extended stay in Denmark may be his preferred option anyway.

“I get asked this question in interviews every week," he said responding to reporters who asked about the PSV and Celtic links. "My contract at Leverkusen runs until summer 2025, so I can’t decide entirely on my own what happens next.

"My full focus is currently on the title fight and I will give everything for the club until the end. I feel very comfortable in Copenhagen: the club, the city and the people just suit me perfectly.”
