Arsenal have been chasing the Celtic star all summer long.

Kieran Tierney of Celtic celebrates at full time during the Scottish Cup semi final between Aberdeen and Celtic at Hampden Park on April 14, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Sky Sports have reported that Arsenal are ‘increasingly confident’ of signing Celtic’s Kieran Tierney.

The Gunners have been tracking Tierney for most of the summer so far.

Celtic have already rejected two bids from Arsenal, the largest of which was £25 million, but the North Londoners look set to return with a third offer before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

And Sky Sports claims that the Hoops are expecting to receive a new bid over the ‘coming days’.

Celtic fans are desperate to keep the 22-year-old, who is very much one of their own after coming through the ranks at Lennoxtown.

But they might already have a replacement in Boli Bolingoli, who signed for Neil Lennon’s side last month.

The Scotland left-back is a huge player for the Bhoys, having won 10 major trophies since breaking into the first team under Ronny Deila less than four years ago.

He has since become one of Europe’s most exciting young defenders and could become Arsenal’s fifth signing of the summer, if the third – and final – offer is on point.
