“That’s His Choice…” – It Seemingly feels like a DOWNGRADE. EPL Star Player wants to LEAVE England for a Celtic Move in 2025

Kieran Tierney Eyes Return to Celtic in 2025

Arsenal’s forgotten left-back, Kieran Tierney, is reportedly eager to leave the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window. According to TBR Football, Tierney’s priority destination is Celtic, the club where he began his professional career.

Tierney’s Journey

The 27-year-old Scotland international spent four successful seasons at Celtic Park, making 170 appearances and winning eight trophies, including four league titles. His impressive performances caught the attention of Arsenal, who signed him for £25 million in 2019.

However, injuries have plagued Tierney’s career at Arsenal, leading to him falling down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta. The arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori has further reduced Tierney’s chances of regular playing time.

Return to Celtic

A move to Celtic would reunite Tierney with Brendan Rodgers, his former manager at Celtic. Rodgers has expressed admiration for Tierney in the past, describing him as “special.” The prospect of working under Rodgers again and playing regular football could be a significant draw for Tierney.

Arsenal’s Stance

The Gunners are reportedly open to letting Tierney leave, either on loan or permanently. A loan deal with a buy-clause could be an attractive option for both parties, allowing Tierney to regain his form and Celtic to assess his suitability for a long-term transfer.

Tierney’s Career Stats

• Celtic (2014-2019): 170 appearances
• Arsenal (2019-present): 124 appearances
• Real Sociedad (2023/24): 26 appearances (on loan)

While Celtic has enjoyed a near-perfect start to their Scottish Premiership title defense, Tierney’s potential return could bolster their squad. The addition of an experienced and talented player like Tierney could prove invaluable in their pursuit of domestic and European success.

The transfer saga surrounding Kieran Tierney will likely unfold in the coming months. Will he secure a move back to Celtic, or will other opportunities arise? Only time will tell.
