Kieran Tierney to Leave Arsenal: Celtic Return Confirmed for Summer

Kieran Tierney will leave Arsenal on a free transfer this summer, with a return to Celtic confirmed. The Scotland international will depart after six years at the Emirates Stadium, where his contract has not been extended, and will rejoin his former club on a permanent deal.

Tierney’s Arsenal Exit and Celtic Reunion

Brendan Rodgers, manager of Celtic, has confirmed that a deal is in place for Tierney to re-sign with the club this summer. After leaving Celtic for Arsenal in 2019, the 27-year-old left-back has found himself increasingly out of favour at the Emirates. Although he has made some appearances off the bench in recent weeks, his future now lies back in Scotland.

Rodgers spoke about the potential for an earlier reunion, stating, “We’re agreed that it will definitely take place in the summer. If we can do it beforehand, then great. I don’t want to speak too much about it, but if we were able to do it, of course, we would like to.”

Tierney’s Role at Arsenal and Potential for January Move

While Tierney has struggled for regular first-team minutes under Mikel Arteta, he still provides cover in the left-back position. A possible move in January could depend on other transfers at the club, particularly the potential exit of Oleksandr Zinchenko to Borussia Dortmund, which would affect Tierney’s role further.

However, for now, Tierney remains a player for Arsenal until the summer, with his return to Celtic set to be a highly anticipated move for both the player and the club.

Will Tierney’s Return to Celtic Be Delayed?

Could Tierney stay at Arsenal a little longer than expected? With the transfer window still open, there is a chance that Arsenal may choose to keep him for the remainder of the season. Do you think Celtic should secure the deal as quickly as possible, or should Arsenal retain Tierney for their remaining fixtures?
