Celtic has begun discussions with Arsenal regarding a potential move for Kieran Tierney, as the defender is eager to return to his boyhood club. The 27-year-old has struggled for game time at the Emirates, having been sidelined for a significant portion of the first half of the season due to injury. Since his return, he has started just one match for Arsenal, making it clear that he is not a prominent part of the club’s plans going forward, and the Gunners have decided not to offer him a new contract.
With only six months remaining on his current deal, it appears that Tierney is keen to secure a move away from Arsenal this month, rather than waiting until the summer when his contract expires. Celtic, who have long been his main suitor, have been pushing for his return for several months, and Arsenal is open to the idea of letting him go. Initially, it was believed that the Scottish club would have to wait until the end of the season to land Tierney, but according to Caught Offside, talks are now ongoing, and the move could happen in January.
Given that Tierney is no longer a key player for Arsenal, it would make sense for the club to facilitate his departure, especially as it could help save on wages. The defender has been an important figure for the Gunners in the past, but he now needs regular playing time to continue his development. A move to Celtic would allow him to get the game time he requires, and for Arsenal, it would be an opportunity to trim their squad and shift a player who no longer fits into their plans.
For Tierney,a return to Celtic seems to be the best option, where he can rediscover his best form and play an integral role in the team. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be looking to make a decision that benefits both the club and the player, ensuring that Tierney’s future is secured while also focusing on their own ambitions for the remainder of the season.

good luck to KT…god knows he deserves some!
And so say all of us
I’ve been one Tierney’s biggest admirers over the years. So I’m particularly sad to see him go.
But with all the misfortune he’s had with injury’s, we’ve never really had the chance to see on a consistent basis what a talented left back he is.
But all through his time with the club, he has been the model professional, never seemed to complain, he just got his head down and worked hard at whatever he had to do.
There are lots of players out there, who should follow his lead in the way he’s acted with professionalism throughout it all.
So I for one hope that whatever team he joins, he can have an injury free run, and show his new employer’s what a gem of a left back they’ve got on there books.
All the best Kieran Tierney.👍
Derek, I echo your sentiments 👍
Herr Drier,

Well said Derek.
Grandad,

I just feel so sorry for KT. When he joined Arsenal back then he became one of my favourite characters, an honest individual, hard worker, fighter, a leader and just a overall good guy. And I was one of those people that thought he was Captain material and would end up in that leader category if he stayed fit here. A model professional that has never caused any mischief or brought our club into disrepute etc..
But he turned a bit like Rosicky, RVP,, Wilshere, ESR, Tomiyasu, etc.. Injured a lot of the time.
It was not meant to be, so all the best to the man.
All the best and good luck to Tierney. 🤞🙏👍
Goonster,
Completely agree with your words.👍
