Reported Leeds United transfer target Tom Rogic will not be leaving Celtic this month, according to manager Ronny Deila.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has insisted that Tom Rogic will not leave the club this month.

The Australian midfielder has recently been linked with a switch to Championship side Leeds United, who were said to have set aside £1m to secure his services.

However, Deila has revealed that the 23-year-old will instead be offered a new contract at Parkhead.

"I haven't heard so much about [the Leeds speculation] but what I do know is that we want to re-sign Tom and have him here for the future," Deila told reporters.

"He's made a lot of progress and we see a lot of potential in him. He can do much better because he has only played for six months after being out for a year before that. He needs time so he's going to stay here with Celtic."

Rogic's current deal with Celtic is due to expire in the summer of 2017.
