According to reports, Arsenal’s left-back Kieran Tierney is on the verge of reaching an agreement with Celtic.
Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney has decided to reject offers from several European giants to agree on a return to his boyhood club, Celtic. Tierney, who has been linked with moves to England and Italy, has instead decided to rejoin the Scottish Premiership champions when his contract expires this summer, according to The Telegraph.
Tierney’s decision comes after a challenging period at Arsenal, where injuries and competition for a place in the starting lineup have limited his playing time. Despite the interest from other clubs, Tierney has always had his heart set on returning to Celtic, where he began his professional career.
An agreement over a pre-contract with Celtic is close to being signed, marking an emotional homecoming for the player who began his professional career with the Scottish Premiership champions. Tierney’s return to Celtic is seen as a significant boost for the club, which is keen to bring back one of its academy products.
While Tierney’s time at Arsenal has been marked by both highs and lows, his return to Celtic is expected to be a significant boost for the Scottish club.
