Neil Lennon revealed that further 'unwelcome' interest from Arsenal is expected between now and the end of the window, but warned the north London club that time is against them.

The 22-year-old is currently recovering from the double-hernia surgery that he received at the start of the summer, but ex-England international Darren Bent reckons the left-back is still desperate to move to Arsenal.
“He’s desperate to leave Celtic and join Arsenal in the Premier League, I’m sure of that,” Bent told Football Insider.
