CONFIRMED: Kieran Tierney finally speaks on his decision to return to Celtic.
Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney has made a decision on his future, he wants to reunite with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic.
According to a report from TBR, Kieran Tierney has no intentions of continuing at Arsenal and he has decided to switch bases once he returns to full fitness. The Scottish international wants to return to his former club Celtic and he is keen on once again playing under Brendan Rodgers.
Tierney was already a big name in the world of football quite early in his career. He came up the ranks at Celtic and made a name for himself while playing for their first team. He then made the move to Arsenal in the summer of 2019.
The Scottish international had an impressive start to life at the North London club. He was considered a huge prospect. Many expected him to be their captain in the long run. But, things didn’t work out for him as a series of injuries during the 2020/21 season derailed his progress.
Before the 27-year-old could bounce back and make the left-back position his own, Mikel Arteta ended up signing Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. Tierney became surplus to requirement and all of a sudden he was no longer a part of their long-term plans.
The Scottish international was keen on parting ways with the North London club during the summer. A move back to Celtic was on the cards but it didn’t go through because he picked up a serious hamstring injury during the Euros.
Tierney wants to return to Celtic Park
The 27-year-old is yet to make a return. While he has started training individually, Tierney is expected to be fully fit by January. He still has around 18 months left on his deal but doesn’t intend on staying at Arsenal. He is ready to move back to the Scottish giants and the Gunners won’t stand in his way.
They are open to a loan move which will make things easier for the Glasgow-based club and won’t mind having a buy option. The player has made a return to the Scottish club a priority because he wants to reunite with Brendan Rodgers. The former Liverpool boss is currently managing Celtic and he had played a big role in Tierney’s rise at the club back in the day.
