Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney is reportedly on the radar of Arsenal.
According to The Scottish Sun, Arsenal want to sign Tierney from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic this summer.
The report has also claimed that the Premier League club have made a bid £15 million for the Scotland international left-back, but the Hoops have turned it down, as they want £25m as transfer fee for the 22-year-old.
Celtic boss Lennon has suggested that Arsenal do want to sign the left-back, but he has stated that there has not been a second bid yet.
Lennon has also revealed that he has had a chat with the youngster over his future.
Asked whether Celtic have received another bid for Tierney, Lennon told The Scottish Sun: “Not that I’m aware of. Arsenal are aware of what we value the player at. He’s on a long-term contract, he’s an asset and we don’t want to sell him.
“It’s going to have to take a lot more than what they’ve offered the first time around to give us a decision to make.
“I’ve had a chat with him as it can be a difficult decision and bit unsettling. I’ve been there myself so it’s important that we support him regardless of the outcome.”
Celtic stay
Tierney is a very good player and is one of the best young left-backs in Europe, and it does make sense for Celtic not to sell him on the cheap.
The Hoops do not have any need to cash in on Tierney, as he is a valuable asset at the club, and the Glasgow giants are not lacking money.
