Arsenal & Celtic’s Kieran Tierney: Agreement is close
According to the Scottish Daily Mail on Wednesday, Arsenal seem to be on the verge of signing Celtic’s Kieran Tierney.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Tierney has been going on for weeks.
Indeed, Celtic manager Neil Lennon has publicly discussed Arsenal’s bids for the defender. Lennon has previously confirmed that Arsenal have failed to meet Celtic’s valuation.
However, the Scottish Daily Mail today tell readers that Arsenal are to meet Celtic’s “magic number”.
That figure is 25 million pounds.

Could Arsenal sign any more players this summer?
Nicolas Pepe may complete his transfer to Arsenal from Lille today.
While Dani Ceballos has already joined Arsenal on a season-long loan from Real Madrid.
According to BBC reporter David Ornstein, Arsenal’s focus in the final days of the summer window are likely to be spent on trying to boost their backline.
The Gunners are reportedly looking to sign a centre-back as well as Celtic’s Tierney.
At the same time, Laurent Koscielny appears close to exiting the club, while Shkodran Mustafi is also up for sale.
