SOL CAMPBELL has refused to rule out a move to Celtic, while Hull have paved the way for Jimmy Bullard to join the club on loan next season.
Campbell (35) is keen to remain at Arsenal and has impressed after his return to his old club on a short-term deal during January. A new contract is on offer for the veteran, but has not yet been formally agreed.
A switch to Parkhead could appeal should things not work out with Arsenal, with reports yesterday claiming Celtic are set to make a surprise summer bid.
“I worked very hard to get back to my best and to play in the Champions League again, and I would love the opportunity to continue at Arsenal,” Campbell said.
“Although a one-year contract has been offered, these things take some time to thrash out. I am in no rush, I would like to stay with Arsenal if I could.
“However, Celtic are a massive club, a great club, with massive support.”
Meanwhile, Hull would consider letting record signing Bullard join Celtic on loan if they made an approach.
Bullard is thought to be one of a number of high-earning players the club are keen to offload following their relegation from the Premier League, but he is prone to injury which may not appeal to Celtic.
Interim Celtic manager Neil Lennon said: “I’ve been looking for players but whether the club take any notice of that is another thing.”
