Arsenal are still in talks with Celtic over the possibility of signing Kieran Tierney – but will a move for the 22-year-old go through?
Celtic have already knocked back two bids from Arsenal for the Scot this summer, with many reports claiming the Gunners have now ended their interest in the defender.
However, according to Goal, cited by the Daily Express, the Gunners are still thought to be in talks with the Hoops over the left-back but have yet to table a third offer.
Unai Emery is desperate to bring in three or four summer additions, with the likes of William Saliba, Dani Ceballos and Wilfried Zaha all heavily tipped to make the move to the Emirates ahead of the new season.
Tierney is another name who had been expected to make the move to London, however, the Gunners are starting to run out of time.
Celtic value the youngster at £25 million, with Arsenal’s second offer totalling the Hoops’ valuation.
The Scottish champions were unhappy with the proposed payment structure, so Arsenal would have to offer the majority of the fee upfront to succeed in their long-term pursuit of the player.
The transfer window shuts in two weeks time on August 8th, so following the latest reports, a proposed move for the left-back could go right down to the wire.
