Arsenal are heavily linked with the young Celtic defender.
Well, there may be a bit of hope regarding Celtic’s chances of keeping Arsenal target Kieran Tierney.
The Gunners have already seen two bids rejected by Celtic for the 22-year-old left-back, the latest of which was £17.5 million [The Sun].
It appeared as if he was Arsenal’s number one target this summer, but step forward Wilfried Zaha.
According to The Daily Mail, the Crystal Palace winger, valued at £80 million, is desperate to join the North London side.
And the good news for the Hoops is that if Unai Emery answers Zaha’s apparent come-get-me plea, is there money left for Tierney?
Arsenal only have a budget of around £45 million [The Mail], which means that the entire thing might need to be spent on bringing the Ivory Coast international to the Emirates.
And with Celtic wanting somewhere in the region of £25 million for the young Scot, there’s virtually no chance of the Londoners completing deals for both.
If you’re a Bhoys supporter, you’re firmly rooting for them to sign Zaha.
