Celtic tempts John Mensah

Ghana international John Mensah has confessed that he would find an offer to join Celtic very hard to turn down.

The former Sunderland loanee is a free agent following his recent release from Lyon.

Scottish champions Celtic are among a number of clubs that are believed to be interested in the 29-year-old, who has insisted that he is in no rush to sort out his future.

"I am not in a hurry to sign for any team," he said. "I have to think and make a choice, the right choice.

"Celtic? They have a great history and have the greatest fans in the world, so they are appealing to any player.

"Like I said, there are many teams calling but I am relaxed and not in a hurry."

Injuries limited Mensah to just one appearance for Lyon last season.
