Arsenal send scouts to watch Celtic’s Tierney and Dembele

Arsenal will be one of as many as 17 Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, that will have scouts present at Celtic Park tonight as Celtic take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League, according to the Mirror.

It’s understood that the players piquing everyone’s interest are Moussa Dembele and Kieran Tierney who are regarded as the best young talents currently playing in Scottish football.

The Gunners have been credited with an interest in the pair in recent months and will seemingly continue to scout them ahead of a potential move down the line.

Celtic reportedly value the duo at £50m, a price-tag that wouldn’t deter many of the clubs that are said to be keeping a watchful eye on their progress.

Dembele, 21, joined Celtic last summer on a free transfer from Fulham and scored 32 goals in 49 appearances in his first season at Parkhead. A hamstring injury has plagued him in the current campaign but he’s still averaging a goal every other game with five goals in 10 appearances to date.

20-year-old Tierney is a product of the Celtic academy and he’s already made 97 appearances for the club, tallying five goals and 24 assists since breaking into the first-team at the end of the 2014/15 season.
