Kieran Tierney and Arsenal is a transfer saga that has been going on for some time but now it seems that a resolution to this is not very far away.
It is already known that the North London club have already had two bids rejected by Celtic but the Gunners are now looking to launch another bid that is going to the convince the Scottish club.
This was confirmed by Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol who has been one of the most vocal reporters in the Tierney deal. He said on Twitter:
Arsenal increasingly confident deal with Celtic for Kieran Tierney is edging closer. Still no official third bid but talks suggest all parties will be satisfied when it’s submitted

‘Arsenal increasingly confident deal with Celtic for Kieran Tierney is edging closer. Still no official third bid but talks suggest all parties will be satisfied when it’s submitted.’
Tierney is one player that has been chosen by Unai Emery as the left-back that he prefers to deploy. It would greatly benefit the Gunners defense if they can get such a talented player to shore up their backline.
The 22-year-old is a rapid player who has the talents to make an impact in the opposition half. This will be very useful for the way that manager Emery likes to set up his team. The full-back’s play a major role in the way the boss likes to build attacks and Tierney is the perfect man to do that job on a regular basis.
Arsenal have been very busy in the transfer window in the recent weeks with them agreeing on a deal for highly sought after winger Nicolas Pepe. Apart from this, they have also recently confirmed deals that will bring Dani Ceballos this season and William Saliba next season to the Emirates.
Adding Tierney to this would make this transfer window one that the Arsenal fans would not have expected in their wildest dreams. It is great news that the club’s hierarchy has been looking at the defensive department and giving the manager the kind of reinforcements that he needs.
Hopefully, the Emirates club will submit the third bid to Celtic soon and a deal will be finally agreed by the two clubs. Tierney is very young so he should get to spend the peak of his career with the Gunners and that is something the fans will be looking forward to.
