Celtic have fended off Arsenal’s interest in Kieran Tierney so far, but Neil Lennon’s side are not in the clear just yet.

According to a report in the Scottish Sun, Celtic have batted away Arsenal’s £25 million bid for Kieran Tierney.

Celtic have now turned down two offers from the Gunners for their star left-back, with Neil Lennon’s side determined to keep hold of the Scottish international.

Arsenal have made Tierney one of their top targets this summer, but Celtic do not feel that their offer is good enough.

Celtic want more money up-front for Tierney, with Arsenal’s current offer set to be paid in instalments.

The Bhoys are now said to be ‘determined’ to keep Tierney, but Arsenal are still confident of getting hold of the full-back.

Unai Emery badly wants a full-back, as he feels that he needs to strengthen his defence.

It is not entirely good news for Celtic either, as Arsenal are now said to be set to come back with an improved offer, which could test the Bhoys resolve even further.

Arsenal are now ‘confident’ that they can get their man, and that would be a major blow to Celtic for the season ahead.
