Arsenal are reportedly confident of sealing yet another deal, this time for Kieran Tierney, although they have yet to submit a third bid.

Arsenal have had two offers rejected by Celtic. The second totalled £25m but too much was stacked in add-ons. Arsenal, it seems, have went away, had a think about what they want to do and have come back with a proposal that Celtic may not reject out of hand.

At least that’s the latest version of the story:

Arsenal increasingly confident deal with Celtic for Kieran Tierney is edging closer. Still no official third bid but talks suggest all parties will be satisfied when it’s submitted

On Thursday night, it was reported that Arsenal had re-opened negotiations with Celtic for the defender.

Celtic have been clear throughout this whole saga – pay £25m or bugger off. That’s fair enough, Tierney is a Celtic lad so isn’t pushing for a move and in today’s market, £25m isn’t a huge ask for a talented youngster.

With Arsenal seemingly pulling money out of their arse to land Nicolas Pepe, who knows what they plan to do in regards to Kieran Tierney, but I wouldn’t rule them out of anything at this point and that’s much more exciting that the £40m nonsense we’ve been dealing with all summer.
