Just over a week ago Celtic and Arsenal were ten million pounds apart in their valuations of Kieran Tierney. Arsenal offered 15 million, Celtic are adamant they want 25.

It was reported midweek that an improved 17.5million pound from the London club had been once again scoffed at by Celtic. Reports this morning are suggesting that Arsenal have bit the bullet and met Celtic’s asking price for their prized possession.

The Sunday Business Post has reported that The Gunners are ready to stop their pointless dance around the player’s value and stump up the funds. According to the report, the London clubs latest bid should be around £20m plus £5m in add-ons.

Tierney was sent back to Scotland yesterday by Neil Lennon, the manager stating the young left-back had been sent home to work on his rehab after surgery. With reports of a new and improved offer coinciding with the player returning from Austria, tounges will be sure to wagger or is it all just a coincidence?
