Sport nationCeltic FC Confident of Securing Kieran Tierney’s Return Amid Arsenal Contract Uncertainty
Celtic FC is increasingly confident of securing the return of Kieran Tierney, with talks reportedly underway to bring the Arsenal left-back back to his boyhood club. According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Celtic is optimistic about the prospect of Tierney’s homecoming, with the player’s contract at Arsenal set to expire this summer.
Romano revealed on social media platform X that “Celtic are confident to make Kieran Tierney deal happen. Talks well underway, as exclusively revealed earlier today.” This development has been corroborated by Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph, who confirmed that Celtic has initiated discussions with Tierney’s representatives regarding a potential pre-contract agreement.
Joseph stated, “Celtic are pursuing a deal for Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney. Talks have begun with Tierney’s reps over a pre-contract. Celtic are also exploring a loan move for Tierney in this window & are expected to contact Arsenal to begin negotiations.”
Tierney’s potential return to Celtic has sparked widespread excitement among the club’s supporters, who fondly remember his impressive performances during his initial stint at the club. The Scotland international made his Celtic debut in 2015 and went on to make 170 appearances, winning eight trophies, including four Scottish Premiership titles.
Since joining Arsenal in 2019, Tierney has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter, making 125 appearances and scoring five goals. He spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad, where he made 26 appearances in all competitions.
Celtic’s interest in Tierney is driven by the club’s desire to strengthen its left-back position, which has been a subject of concern throughout the season. The club’s current options, Greg Taylor and Alexandro Bernabei, have faced uncertainty regarding their futures, with Taylor’s contract set to expire this summer and Bernabei reportedly closing in on a permanent move to Internacional in Brazil.
The potential arrival of Tierney would undoubtedly bolster Celtic’s defensive options and provide a significant boost to the team’s morale. As the transfer window heats up, Celtic fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments regarding Tierney’s potential return to the club.
In the meantime, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be focused on ensuring that his team maintains its momentum in the Scottish Premiership, where they currently hold a commanding 11-point lead over Rangers. With several key players expected to return from injury soon, Celtic will be looking to regain its dominance and push on towards another Scottish Premiership title.
As the speculation surrounding Tierney’s future continues to swirl, one thing is certain – Celtic FC is determined to bring the talented left-back back to Glasgow, and the club’s supporters will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of these developments.
