Tierney’s RETURN is No More a RUMOUR BUT TRUE as Arsenal and Arteta Makes a DECISION That Would Determine His RETURN to Parkhead

Kieran Tierney’s Arsenal Exit Looms Large as Mikel Arteta Clears Path for Celtic Return

Kieran Tierney’s future at Arsenal has been a topic of intense speculation in recent weeks, and the latest developments suggest that the Scottish defender’s departure from the Emirates Stadium is all but imminent. With his current contract set to expire in the summer, Tierney’s prospects of remaining in North London appear bleak, particularly given manager Mikel Arteta’s refusal to trigger a one-year extension in the player’s deal.

Despite injuries to fellow left-backs in the Arsenal squad, Tierney has been afforded opportunities to feature in the EFL Cup, FA Cup, and Premier League in recent weeks. However, the emergence of Academy product Myles Lewis-Skelly as a viable alternative at left-back has seemingly diminished Tierney’s importance to Arteta’s plans.

According to The Athletic, Lewis-Skelly’s impressive form for the Gunners has made Arteta more willing to sanction a Tierney exit before the end of the transfer window. This development has significant implications for Celtic, who have been linked with a move to re-sign Tierney on a pre-contract agreement.

Tierney’s departure from Celtic in 2019 was a significant blow to the Scottish Premiership club, but the prospect of his return has generated considerable excitement among the Parkhead faithful. With Arteta seemingly willing to allow Tierney to leave Arsenal, Celtic may be poised to capitalize on the situation and secure the defender’s signature on a pre-contract agreement.

The dynamics of Tierney’s situation at Arsenal are complex, with the player’s contractual situation and Arteta’s willingness to sanction his exit contributing to a sense of uncertainty surrounding his future. However, one thing is clear: Tierney’s departure from Arsenal appears increasingly likely, and Celtic may be well-placed to benefit from the situation.

As the January transfer window enters its final stages, the situation surrounding Tierney’s future will be closely monitored by Celtic supporters and Arsenal fans alike. With Arteta having cleared the path for Tierney’s exit, the stage is set for a dramatic conclusion to the saga, one that could have significant implications for both Arsenal and Celtic.
