Neil Lennon admits Arsenal target Kieran Tierney could leave Celtic this summer.

The Gunners have had two bids of £15million and £18m rejected for the Scotland international with the Scottish champions said to value their star left-back at £25m.

Arsenal believe they can do a deal for less but while Lennon admits an exit is possible this summer, he insists the club will ensure their demands are met.

“It can be a little bit unsettling, a lot of us have been in that position before,” Lennon said of interest in Tierney, speaking to Sky Sports.

“Obviously he has a price, every player has his price, and if any team wants to match it then we have a decision to make. But until then there’s nothing further to say on it.”

Arsenal meanwhile are closing in on a deal for Saint-Etienne defender William Saliba .

The Ligue 1 club are demanding 30 million euros (£26.5m) and an agreement they will keep the centre-back on loan next season before moving he moves to north London in 2020.
