Kieran Tierney would consider a return to Celtic this summer, according to a report.
The Scottish Sun say that the former Hoops full-back will spend the close-season weighing up his future.
Tierney signed a new “long-term” deal with Arsenal in 2021 (Arsenal), but is expected to move on this summer in search of more regular game-time.
While a move to Celtic seems a bit of a long-shot at present, there is perhaps cause for optimism in the report from Derek McGregor.
The journalist had plenty of accurate scoops on the appointment of Brendan Rodgers and now it seems like he has turned attention to Tierney.
He says that the Scotland international “won’t close the door” on a return to Celtic under Rodgers.
He reckons that a season-long loan move could be a possibility, if a loan fee and wage agreement could be met with Arsenal.
There’s not much else in the way of information but it does seem obvious from the report that there is something to all of this.
Perhaps Tierney’s camp have intimated that he would be for a return to Celtic, despite moving to the Premier League four years ago.
Signing Tierney on loan would be a real deviation from our recent transfer policy. Every signing in the past two years has been with a view to the future.
Tierney joining would surely just be a one-season thing. But you’d be hard pressed to find too many Celtic supporters who would be against the move.
This romantic writer would love to see it happen. Tierney would be a pretty good signing on the pitch too.
