Arsenal on the verge of completing another transfer – this time a defender

Arsenal has really stepped up their efforts to get transfer deals over the line and multiple reports are coming in that a deal for Celtic defender Kieran Tierney is almost done.

Media outlets like Sky, ESPN and others as highlighted by Football Scotland are all claiming that terms have been agreed between Arsenal and Celtic for the 22-year-old.

This particular transfer has been a bit of a saga with a momentous amount of rumours and speculation, multiple bids, lowball offers and Celtic anger but it finally seems that we are edging to a conclusion if the latest reports are to be believed.

Tierney will be a massive addition to a porous defence and while he is not a central defender he will hopefully add strength to an area that is our biggest concern.

The Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi has asked for patience and it appears that he has been justified in his request.

While this transfer is not yet official and probably still has a little way to go it does look very likely now that Kieran Tierney will become an Arsenal player before the transfer window shuts in a few weeks time.

It has been a frustrating time this summer but hopes are now high that the club will be concluding a whole host of quality deals.
