Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has refused to rule out signing Kieran Tierney.

The Scotland and Arsenal left back is a key target for the Premiership winners.

Rodgers is well aware of Tierney's quality, having previously worked with him and then from watching him in the Premier League.

The Hoops chief said, “There's been lots of players linked with here with me coming back.

“All I know is Kieran is like myself, we loved our time here.

“When I spoke to him down the road in the Premier League, every time we met up all we talked about was Celtic. He's a Celtic man but he's at a fantastic club in Arsenal.

“You can just never say never in football. Who knows what might happen? We wouldn't be able to buy Kieran for £25-£30 million, that's for sure, or the figures I see banded about.

“I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be able to pay the huge salary he's on. However, one can never tell.

“What I would say is that we have a couple of really good left-backs here already. I have been really impressed with young Greg Taylor.

“Watching him come in and settling in at Celtic, he's been excellent. Bernabei is still young and adapting, but I've liked those two during the course of pre-season.

“Kieran has an incredible history with the club. He was a massive part of my time here, so there will always be that link. You never know."
