Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has confirmed he has spoken to manager Neil Lennon about a summer move to Celtic.

The 35-year-old revealed he is a long way from agreeing to join the Glasgow giants but was impressed by interim boss Lennon.

Campbell told the Scottish Sun: “I’ve spoken with Neil about moving to Celtic. And I’ve been impressed with what he had to say.

“We’re talking, although we haven’t yet discussed figures. Nothing is set in stone.”

The former England international has also been offered a new one-year contract by Arsenal but has not reached any decision on his future.

Campbell said Lennon had told him he wants to bring in a senior professional to give guidance to the younger players at Parkhead and said a move north of the border was “a serious possibility”.

He also revealed he was considering offers from other clubs in the event that his future at the Emirates is not resolved.

He added: “Neil clearly understands what’s needed at Celtic and I appreciate his interest. But we’ve still got to properly negotiate and the figures might not stack up.

“Celtic is a serious possibility, but I am also talking to a few other clubs. I’m also giving Arsenal the respect they deserve. If the situation at Arsenal doesn’t resolve itself I know how interested Celtic are. And, yes, I’m seriously considering it.”
