Kieran Tierney has reportedly agreed a pre-contract return to Celtic in the summer, despite interest from the Scottish champions to bring him back on loan in January. The Arsenal defender, out of favor at the Emirates Stadium, will remain with the Gunners until his contract expires.
Celtic-bound Kieran Tierney reportedly played a role in the decision to remain at Arsenal before his return to the Scottish champions.
The 27-year-old has fallen behind rising talent Myles Lewis-Skelly in the pecking order with Oleksandr Zinchenko made to watch on as the Arsenal academy graduate battles Riccardo Calafiori for a starting spot. But The Athletic report that Tierney was happy to stay in North London until the summer. Arsenal are currently in Dubai following their Carabao Cup elimination at the hands of Newcastle United with a rare 10-day break on their calendar. Boss Mikel Arteta is said to be running the rule over Ben White - who has been missing since November through injury.
