Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is reportedly on the verge of sealing a sensational return to Celtic, the club where he began his professional career.
According to The Telegraph, Tierney is close to agreeing a pre-contract agreement with the Scottish giants, paving the way for an emotional reunion at Celtic Park this summer.
Tierney’s Arsenal Career Winds Down
Tierney’s six-year stay at Arsenal is set to come to an end, with the 27-year-old having fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta.
Despite playing a crucial role in the Gunners’ FA Cup triumph in 2020, Tierney has struggled to regain his first-team spot, particularly after a serious hamstring injury sustained while on international duty with Scotland last summer.

Interest from European Clubs
Tierney’s availability has sparked interest from several top European clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen, Sevilla, and Juventus.
However, it appears that the Scotsman has set his heart on a return to Celtic, where he won five Scottish Premiership titles between 2015 and 2019.
How Tierney Has Fared This Season
Tierney made his return from injury on December 18, playing 69 minutes of the EFL Cup quarter-final success over Crystal Palace.
However, since then, he has been largely relegated to the bench, with 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly impressing in North London.
A New Chapter Awaits
As Tierney prepares to embark on a new chapter in his career, Arsenal fans will undoubtedly be grateful for his contributions to the club.
With his Celtic return imminent, the Scottish international will be eager to pick up where he left off and help his boyhood club achieve success.
