Kieran Tierney's future at Arsenal appears uncertain as he nears a return to his boyhood club, Celtic. Despite a recent impressive performance for the Gunners, the Scottish defender's departure seems imminent.
Kieran Tierney is nearing a return to Celtic but Arsenal fans are reluctant to see him leave after his recent impactful performance for the club. The 27-year-old is poised to finalize a pre-contract agreement with his boyhood club, signaling his departure from the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal opted against activating a 12-month extension clause in Tierney's contract. After a successful loan spell at Real Sociedad, Tierney returned to North London nursing an injury sustained during Euro 2024.
He has had limited playing time in Mikel Arteta's plans this season. However, amidst a wave of injuries within the Gunners squad, Arteta has provided Tierney with minutes in the last two matches. During Wednesday's 2-1 derby victory over Tottenham, Tierney impressed while playing in an unfamiliar left-wing position.Following the match, the defender took to social media to share images from the game, accompanied by a 'saluting' emoji. This gesture has fueled speculation among some Arsenal supporters that a swift move to Celtic Park could occur this month. One fan commented, 'Is this goodbye? He could be joining Celtic imminently.' Another added, 'He got to sign off with a North London derby win. Not bad.' Teammate Declan Rice acknowledged Tierney's versatility by stating, 'It's really tough for him. I'm sure the manager will look for something because we had to bring Tierney on in the left wing. We are a bit short there.'This has prompted some Arsenal supporters to urge Arteta to reconsider his decision to allow Tierney's contract to expire. One fan wrote on X, 'We should be stopping him leaving and giving him that new deal.' Another expressed confusion, stating, 'He creates a chance every time he comes on. Why are we letting him go?' Another chimed in, 'Every time Tierney comes on he is class. So of course we let his contract run out. Arteta should say no.
