Celtic have initiated discussions to bring back former defender Kieran Tierney on a pre-contract agreement from Arsenal. The 27-year-old, who departed Celtic in 2019 for £25m, has struggled with injuries throughout his time in English football.
Tierney’s Arsenal career has been marked by 125 appearances and several injury setbacks, including shoulder, knee, and hamstring issues. Despite his challenges, the Scotland international remains highly regarded for his professionalism and work ethic.
Amid interest from multiple European clubs, it is unclear if Arsenal will sanction a loan move for Tierney in January ahead of a potential permanent transfer in the summer. A return to Celtic would mark a significant homecoming for the talented defender, whose last appearance for Arsenal came in a Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace in December.
As talks progress, fans in both north London and Glasgow await clarity on Tierney’s next move, hoping the gifted left-back can revive his career.
