As the Bhoys attempt to entice Kieran Tierney back to the team from Arsenal, Celtic’s pursuit of him has taken centre stage in recent weeks.
After the Gunners decided not to exercise his one-year contract option at the Emirates Stadium, the Scotland international will become a free agent in the summer.
As they consider every opportunity to bring an iconic player back to Glasgow’s east end, Celtic has reportedly been looking at loan and pre-contract options for Kieran Tierney.
Tierney would be amenable to a Celtic comeback, according to Darrell Currie’s remarks earlier this week. Although there have been rumours that the 27-year-old will return to his old team, this has never happened.
But with Fabrizio Romano’s most recent update on the matter, the stars might finally align. The Lennoxtown graduate has never concealed his affinity for the Bhoys.
Amid Celtic interest, Fabrizio Romano provides an update on Kieran Tierney.
As talks between the Bhoys and Arsenal continue to try to secure Tierney’s return, Romano has provided a positive update on Celtic’s pursuit of the player on social networking platform X.
“There are talks going on regarding Kieran Tierney’s return to Celtic from Arsenal,” he said. The 27-year-old fullback is eager to go, and negotiations are still ongoing to secure a complete deal.
According to the headline, Tierney is eager to return to Parkhead, which may provide Celtic a big lift as they try to hammer out a deal around his huge salary.
It was previously reported that the Arsenal player would consider reducing his weekly salary of £120,000 in order to return to his boyhood club. But whether an agreement can be reached is still up in the air.
Celtic is still in the running to Tierney, Kieran
Celtic supporters have long hoped that the man in issue will return home following his time in London, but because of financial difficulties, it has always seemed a bit unrealistic.
With the exception of one start against Crystal Palace, Tierney hasn’t been at the forefront of Arsenal’s plans and has been content to sit on the bench under Mikel Arteta.
His career needs a boost following a string of injury setbacks, and Celtic seems to be playing their hand to sign him. As the market opens, rumours about him aren’t going away.
It would be great if the Hoops could bring Tierney back to the place where he once excelled. Romano’s report is greatly appreciated by the supporters in light of yesterday’s happenings at Ibrox.
