Neil Lennon has poured cold water on Kieran Tierney's prospective move to Arsenal saying that as far as he's aware, the deal is off.
The full-back has been the subject of intense interest from the Gunners who have made two bids for the 22-year-old.
Celtic value the defender at £25million, but as of yet the north London side have not put forward a proposal that meets the expectations of the Scottish Champions.
Reports on Monday suggested that Arsenal were about to pull the plug on their interest, and speaking to the Daily Record
, Lennon has said that he believes negotiations are over.
He said: “The deal, as far as I’m aware, is not happening.
"We are delighted about that and it’s just a question of appeasing his mind now.
“As far as I am aware, it is finished. I don’t know if Arsenal are going to meet our valuation. So it is basically as you were.
“That may be difficult for Kieran to get his head around – or he comes back to the fold and gets on with things.
“I’ll have to speak to him and I’m sure the club will as well. But it may rumble on as well, I don’t know.
“Until the window closes, we can’t relax and I’m sure Kieran can’t either.”
