Celtic In Talks With Kieran Tierney Over Stunning Return to Glasgow
Celtic has opened talks with Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney over a potential return to the Scottish Premiership club, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Tierney, 27, left Celtic Park in 2019 to join Arsenal, but after an injury-plagued spell in the Premier League, he is set to leave the Gunners on a free transfer at the end of his contract this summer.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has already expressed interest in re-signing Tierney, and talks are now underway to reach a full agreement. However, it is unclear whether a deal would be for the summer or if it could be sanctioned this month. Tierney’s return to Celtic would be a significant boost to the squad, and fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the negotiations.
Tierney’s time at Arsenal has been marred by injuries, which have limited his appearances for the club. Despite this, he has remained a key player for Scotland, earning 35 caps for the national team. His experience and skill would be a valuable addition to Celtic’s squad, particularly as they look to maintain their dominance in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic is currently flying high in the Scottish Premiership, sitting 11 points clear of Rangers at the top of the table. However, they suffered a humbling 3-0 defeat to their fierce rivals on Thursday, which may have highlighted the need for reinforcements in the squad. The potential return of Tierney would be a significant statement of intent from Celtic, demonstrating their commitment to competing at the highest level.
While the talks between Celtic and Tierney are ongoing, it is unclear whether a deal can be reached this month. Arsenal may be reluctant to let Tierney leave mid-season, particularly if they are still in contention for silverware. However, with Tierney’s contract set to expire in the summer, Celtic may be able to negotiate a deal that suits all parties.
The return of Tierney would be a welcome boost to Celtic’s squad, and fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the negotiations. With the Scottish Premiership title race heating up, Celtic will be looking to make a statement of intent and reinforce their squad for the challenges ahead.
