The much-publicised bid to re-sign Kieran Tierney from Arsenal remains ongoing with negotiations progressing over a January loan move as well as a pre-contract deal that would see the 27-year-old return to Celtic Park permanently on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season.
In a fresh development, it has been reported that Tierney, who was an unused substitute in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Brighton on Saturday, has knocked backed approaches from three English Premier League sides. According to Mailsport, the Scotland defender has turned down Leicester City, West Ham and Brentford to remain focused on reuniting with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic nearly six years on from his £25million departure.
The move for Tierney comes amid uncertainty over the future of current Celtic left-back Greg Taylor, who is also free to speak to other clubs after entering the final six months of his contract. Dinamo Zagreb have emerged as strong suitors after making the 27-year-old an offer with reports in Croatia suggesting that Taylor would be willing to depart Celtic in the January window.
