Celtic left-back Tierney in Arsenal sights

Arsenal are showing serious interest in Celtic's Kieran Tierney.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Arsene Wenger is eager to strengthen at left-back if he remains in the role next season.

19-year-old Tierney is one of the most sought-after young full-backs in Europe with Chelsea and Bayern Munich already credited with an interest.

However, it is understood that the Gunners are preparing a summer bid for the two-time Scotland international despite the presence of Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs.

Celtic are reportedly keen on young Arsenal winger Chris Willock and the North Londoners may use him in any potential deal to lure Tierney to the Emirates Stadium.
