Kieran Tierney's agent reveals what Arsenal must do to complete transfer

Kieran Tierney's agent has said that Celtic hold the cards with regards to his future.

The full-back has been the subject of intense interest from Arsenal who are eying a summer move, but as of yet, no deal has been agreed.

The Scottish champions appear to have signed a potential replacement for Tierney in the shape of Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo who joined from Rapid Vienna, potentially paving the way for his departure.

As is their prerogative, Celtic are fully in control of when - and if - a deal for Tierney is agreed, and the full-back's agent has insisted that his client isn't the sort to create a problem for the Bhoys.

Speaking on  Radio Scotland’s Sportsound  programme he said: “It is all down to Celtic, if they get a price that they believe is the correct value for Kieran Tierney he could possibly be on his way. No one has hit that price yet.

“I know Kieran really well, I had some food with him the other day, he is such an unassuming young man.

"He is wealthy at the moment but he doesn’t possess a watch, he isn’t into material things like this. He still hangs about his pals from when he was a youngster, he sponsors his local pub team where his pals play and he’s not into his designer gear or anything like that.

“As the guys say he loves Celtic, he absolutely loves Celtic.

"Will there be a time for Kieran Tierney to go? I think that there will be, if it’s just now it will be upto the clubs involved. Arsenal, Napoli or whoever to then put the money on the table and make Celtic think about this.

“If he is on his way he’s on his way. If there is a time for Kieran to go it will be upto Celtic, Peter Lawwell and the board. They have signed a left back but they do need one because Izaguirre is away.”
