Celtic manager Neil Lennon believes signing Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy is still an option before the closure of the transfer window.[LNB] Lennon is keen to agree a deal to bring in the Wales international, who enjoyed a loan spell at Parkhead earlier in his career.[LNB]Bellamy has been told he has no future at Premier League title contenders City after spending last season on loan at Cardiff.[LNB]There have been reports that Bellamy is not interested in joining the Bhoys, but Lennon is not giving up on a deal for the 32-year-old.[LNB]The Celtic chief is also in the market for a new left-back after losing Emilio Izaguirre for several months due to injury.[LNB]"Craig is still an option," said Lennon. "It could even be a last-day thing. [LNB]"I've not spoken to him but I'll liaise with Manchester City on that. We haven't had a definitive 'no' on it.[LNB]"I'm sure people will become available when the English clubs name their 25-man squads. Sometimes you have to play a waiting game but we are working on a number of things.[LNB]"We'd like to bring a left back in to cover Izaguirre's loss, maybe until January. But it's difficult to convince players just to come until then."
