Celtic Push for Early Return of Arsenal's Kieran Tierney

Brendan Rodgers confirms Celtic's efforts to expedite Tierney's transfer before the January window closes, though a summer move is already agreed.

  • Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers revealed that the club aims to bring Kieran Tierney back from Arsenal this January, despite a pre-contract agreement for the summer.
  • Tierney, a 27-year-old Scotland international, previously played for Celtic before joining Arsenal in 2019 for £25 million.
  • Rodgers emphasized the club's urgency following the departure of on-loan left-back Álex Valle and limited defensive options for the remainder of the season.
  • Tierney has seen limited playing time at Arsenal this season but has featured more recently due to injuries in the squad.
  • Celtic, currently leading the Scottish Premiership, are also preparing for their Champions League knockout phase match against Aston Villa.
