Lots of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was reported by the BBC’s David Ornstein that a £15m bid for Celtic’s Kieran Tierney had been rejected, but the Gunners are ‘optimistic’ over a deal being struck.
The report also states that agreeing personal terms with the Scottish international shouldn’t be a problem, although the actual fee involved is clearly proving to be a stumbling block.
From 6-0 FA Cup final maulings to Mkhitaryan missing the the Europa League final, is football broken? Fans discuss in the video below…
Tierney is an exciting left-back who could be likened to Andy Robertson based on their style of play and Scottish origins – the Celtic hero scored once and set up six goals last term as the Bhoys won another treble.
He only featured sporadically in 2019 due to a hernia operation, but that doesn’t appear to have put Arsenal off from signing him.
If the 5 ft 10 full-back did arrive, he would be a welcome addition to an area that the north Londoners are struggling in right now.
Unai Emery seemingly doesn’t trust Kolasinac as a conventional No.3, having utilised him 21 times as a wing-back instead in the Premier League and Europe last season, while Nacho Monreal will be 34 by the end of next term.
Let’s see what the Arsenal fans on Twitter have been saying about Tierney…
