NEIL LENNON told the media today that it wouldn’t surprise him to see Arsenal mount another bid for Kieran Tierney before the Premier League window closes next week.
The Celtic boss did prefix the claim with not having any inside knowledge.

Since last season, the Premier League voted to close their transfer window before the start of their season, allowing players to be more settled and stopping other English clubs from unsettling players.
Once their window closes, they will not be able to bring any players into the club but clubs outside of England can still buy Premier League players.
That means there’s an expiration date on Arsenal’s interest and they’ll have to show their hand soon if they want Celtic’s star man.
Kieran is still out injured at the moment and has maintained a radio silence since the first rejected bid from the Gunners was made. The Celtic full-back didn’t even attend the recent Celtic festival while other first team stars attended.
