Celtic Exclusive: Big Kieran Tierney update today

Kieran Tierney would “love” to return to Celtic as Arsenal are set to listen to offers over the summer transfer window.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Tierney would jump at the opportunity should a deal be agreed between the two clubs.

The 27-year-old is surplus to requirements in Mikel Arteta’s squad and will be up for sale this summer after spending last season with Real Sociedad.

Sources say the Scottish champions are unlikely to be able to afford a permanent deal, while his “huge” wages could make a loan complicated.

However, both parties remain keen on a reunion.

Kieran Tierney would jump at Celtic transfer after Arsenal twist

Tierney has struggled with well-documented injury issues since arriving in England, missing a total of 55 games while at Arsenal, as well as a further 21 during his spell in Spain.

The left-back has made 124 appearances for the Gunners since his record-breaking £25million move in 2019, lifting an FA Cup in that period.

His loan spell with Real Sociedad saw him make 26 appearances, including two in the Champions League, having previously represented Arsenal in the Europa League.

After Celtic qualified for the Champions League, Tierney’s experience in European competitions could prove valuable to Brendan Rodgers and his squad.

As revealed by Football Insider, Celtic could make five or six signings this summer to strengthen their squad ahead of their Champions League campaign.

However, Tierney’s wages are expected to be prohibitive to a deal, while Arsenal are likely to want to recoup most of their £25million outlay.
