Kieran Tierney has fallen out of favour at Arsenal, and Celtic are keen to take him back to Glasgow. However, financial constraints may limit the Scottish club’s ability to sign him now, with a free transfer at the end of the season appearing more feasible.
The left-back, once a key player at the Emirates, has struggled to regain his place in the team. This season, Tierney has made just one start following a lengthy injury absence at the beginning of the campaign. Arsenal, while open to selling him now, may also consider allowing him to run down his contract. However, with injuries always a possibility, the Gunners may prefer to retain him for squad depth until the summer.
Celtic remain determined to sign the defender during this transfer window. Pundit Paul Robinson, commenting on the situation to Football Insider, expressed confidence that a deal could be imminent. He said, “It’s definitely getting done, it just depends on the player’s determination to get it through. The player can kick and scream all he wants, and eventually, we know that players get their way. This is a deal that fits Celtic, it fits Kieran Tierney—it just works for everybody, that deal, it just sits right, doesn’t it?”

Robinson’s statement underscores the potential appeal of this move for all parties involved. Tierney would likely welcome a return to Celtic, the club where he began his career and enjoyed significant success. Celtic, in turn, would benefit from the addition of a player who knows the club well and brings both experience and quality to their squad.
Despite Tierney’s diminished role at Arsenal, the Gunners may still view him as a valuable option for depth, particularly as the season progresses and injuries take their toll. While Celtic’s financial limitations could delay the transfer until the summer, the player’s willingness to push for the move may yet influence the outcome of the situation. Whether the deal happens now or later, Tierney’s time at Arsenal appears to be nearing its conclusion.

As Arsenal phase five kicks on, which one would hope would elevate the club to a status among Europe’s elite, more decisions like this one will have to be made.
Players that fans love myself included may be moved on for sheer football reasons , not that this one couldn’t have dealt with a little different but that’s all part of the game.
This player epitomizes what every player should be.
If popular rumors are true. there’s a possibility that everyone could be better off as a result
Gunsmoke when does phase five reach it’s conclusion – just asking for a friend?!
With our injuries happening every game, it seems, we should hold on to Tierney until every one of our defenders are back up and running.
If Celtic can’t afford him until the summer, then let them wait – after all, they’ll only have his salary to pay out then.
Will always think of Tierney as the young man with his Tesco bag, no airs and graces, just an honest player who was a true professional on and off the pitch.
lol phase five kicks in !
What the actually fck buddy .
Surely fans cannot be that naive,no offence as you seem a nice chap .
Regarding Tierney ,time to get his wages off the clubs books ,even when fit he wasn’t the best LB in the world let alone this club ,time for both parties to move forward ,wish him a good healthy future going forward (he deserves that ).
I agree completely ken, especially your first question and final paragraph 👏.
All this phase rubbish, we’re almost drowning with all these trophy’s that these phase’s have led to aren’t we. 🙄🤦♂️

Tell our good friend, Ken, as I understand it, phase five will be concluded, when this campaign ends.
Let’s not hasten to judge, Leicester won the league at a mighty longer odds.
Well Dan Kit, we all agree it’s time the gaffer allow the Scottish to go.
Now if the gaffer should win the premier league in the current campaign, his Manifestó, he sold to the Kroenke’s would have work to a tee.
Big IF there mate .
With at least 4 players of our squad of 22 named players out injured, there’s no way the club should let him leave in this window.
