The January transfer window is upon us, and Arsenal have some work to do this month.

Arsenal have been linked with new strikers for a long time now, and Arsenal have been urged to sign Alexander Isak in recent times.

However, the first piece of business Arsenal do in this transfer window may well be a departure.

Indeed, according to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are already in talks to sell Kieran Tierney to Celtic.

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 has, of course, played for Celtic before, and when you look at his stats, it’s easy to see why the Scottish champions are keen to bring the left-back home.

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.
