Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is a contender for the Arsenal job.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is seen during a training session at Lennoxtown on December 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is among the contenders to land the Arsenal job.

Arsene Wenger declare his intention to step down as manager at the end of the season last week/

Bookies SkyBet price Rodgers as 7/2 second favourite to replace Wenger.

Here are three Celtic players Rodgers could attempt to take to Arsenal with him.

Kieran Tierney

Kieran Tierney of Celtic shows appreciation to the fans after the UEFA Champions League group B match between Celtic FC and RSC Anderlecht at Celtic Park on December 5, 2017 in Glasgow,...

Star left-back Kieran Tierney has already captained Celtic at aged 20 and is already a Scotland regular.

The Sun reported last year that Arsenal and Manchester United are both monitoring the defender and Rodgers moving to the Gunners would give them a clear advantage.

Tierney could have a spot at Arsenal too, with first choice left-back Nacho Monreal now 32.

Moussa Dembele

Moussa Dembele of Celtic celebrates victory during the Betfred Cup Semi Final match between Rangers and Celtic at Hampden Park on October 23, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Star striker Moussa Dembele has scored more than 40 goals in two seasons at Celtic and is a player Gunners legend Thierry Henry has big admiration for.

Dembele is just 21 and while he would find it tough to get ahead of Lacazette and Aubameyang, he could flourish by easing himself in without too much expectation, under a coach who clearly rates him highly already.

Olivier Ntcham

Olivier Ntcham of Celtic scores his sides fourth goal from the penalty spot during the Scottish Cup Semi Final match between Rangers and Celtic at Hampden Park on April 15, 2018 in Glasgow,...

Powerhouse midfielder Olivier Ntcham has been a coup for Celtic this season after they convinced Manchester City to sell him.

Ntcham impressed in Serie A with Genoa last season and his style is made for the Premier League.

He was dominant against Rangers in the recent final and it would not be a surprise if Rodgers sought to bring him with him to Arsenal.
