Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos has welcomed interest from Celtic.

Senderos is "honoured" by Celtic's interest and would, himself, prefer to go on loan until the summer, in order to secure first-team football ahead of the World Cup. He did concede, though, that any decision remains in the hands of Arsenal.

"At this moment, I am still an Arsenal player and so they will have the final decision," he told The Herald. "I am honoured that a big club like Celtic are interested in me and, personally, a loan deal right now would suit me perfectly."
