Fabrizio Romano has update on Kieran Tierney’s future as Celtic open talks with Arsenal
The January transfer window is upon us, and Arsenal have some work to do this month.
Arsenal aren’t planning any major signings, but they do need some new additions if they want to push Liverpool at the top of the table.

Arsenal in talks to sell Kieran Tierney
According to Romano, talks are now underway for Arsenal to sell Tierney to Celtic.
The left-back arrived at Arsenal from Celtic a few years ago in a deal worth .
Tierney loves Celtic as a club, and he’s now open to a return to Glasgow.
Tierney has been eyeing a Celtic return for a while now, and it looks as though this move is a concrete possibility at this point.
Tierney was linked to Real Sociedad heading into January, but now, a return to Scotland appears to be more likely.

Tierney was brilliant for Celtic first time around, and he will be hoping to rediscover that form once again if he returns.
The defender still has a lot of love for Celtic. In fact, Tierney admitted a few years ago that he misses Celtic.
“I miss everything about Celtic. And I always will,” Tierney said during a Q and A session.
“I am very grateful for every second I spent playing for the club.”
Some transfers just make the world of sense, and with Tierney out of favour at Arsenal and struggling for confidence and gametime, a return to Celtic could be just what the player needs to get his career back on track.
This could be a busy January transfer window for Arsenal, and Tierney’s departure may well get the ball rolling in terms of transfer movement at the Emirates this month.
