Celtic and Kieran Tierney are reportedly making significant progress in their contract negotiations. The Scottish champions are keen to bring the 27-year-old left-back back to the club six years after he left for Arsenal in a £25 million deal.
According to Sky Sports News, talks between Celtic and Tierney are progressing well. Both parties are keen to secure terms, with Tierney willing to take a significant pay cut to return to Celtic. Celtic is eager to add Tierney on a pre-contract agreement, but they might also pursue a deal for the player in the final stages of the January transfer window as Arsenal manages an injury crisis.
Tierney, who has been plagued by injuries during his time at Arsenal, is enthusiastic about the prospect of returning to his former club. He has made 125 appearances for Arsenal but has missed more than 60 games due to various injuries. Despite these setbacks, Tierney remains a highly regarded player, and Celtic is hopeful of concluding a deal for him to become a Celtic player again this summer.
Tierney’s return would be a significant boost for Celtic, especially with the potential departure of Greg Taylor and Alex Valle’s loan deal ending. The club is looking to strengthen its left-back position, and Tierney’s experience and familiarity with Celtic make him an ideal candidate.
