The Basque club, who are also in the Champions League, have been reportedly continued conversations after it was revealed that the 26-year-old was training away from the first team as Mikel Arteta looks to force a move.
According to Joseph, who took to Twitter/X, confirmed that talks were underway but that Celtic were keeping an eye on matters.

The Scotland Internationalist will be desperate to leave The Emirates as it appears to be nearing a stage of toxicity. Brendan Rodgers commented earlier today on Tierney wanting to go away and play was important.
The player has been frozen out by Arteta at Arsenal and the Gunners manager has shown little warmth towards the player and his exit seems inevitable. Sporting Director Edu wants a a sizeable buy clause inserted, which would likely rule Celtic out of contention.
