LONDON — Sunderland manager Steve Bruce is prepared to bide his time as he tries to lure former England defender Sol Campbell to the Stadium of Light.Campbell is a free agent after his short-term contract with Arsenal expired earlier this month and Bruce is keen to sign the centre-back.Bruce has held talks with Campbell but Scottish giants Celtic have also expressed interest in the 35-year-old.Campbell is due to get married in the coming days and Bruce knows he will have to play a waiting game now as the former Tottenham and Portsmouth player will put his future on hold until later in the month.Bruce told Sky Sports News: "We have had a conversation with Sol, I've known the lad a long, long time. He's obviously got some decisions to make."We've shown him around and shown him what we've got, so we will see what develops over the next 48 hours."But I think Sol is getting married next weekend and then is away on honeymoon so I wouldn't have thought there would be much before that happens."
