According to TEAMtalk’s understanding, Celtic are planning to have a busy conclusion to the January transfer window, but it is possible that they will have to wait until the end of the season to resume their relationship with Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney.
The contract that Tierney holds with Arsenal is scheduled to expire at the conclusion of the current season, and Celtic have already established a pre-agreement to acquire his services on a free transfer during the summer.
Due to the fact that Arsenal is now lacking in left-back alternatives and the 27-year-old player has been utilised in the team, the Scottish club is eager to bring Tierney back to Parkhead this month. However, they are having difficulty reaching an agreement with Arsenal.
As a result of Tierney’s participation in two of Arsenal’s most recent three Premier League matches, Mikel Arteta is reportedly not opposed to the idea of retaining him on loan until the conclusion of the current campaign.
Given the current state of affairs, it is quite probable that Tierney will continue to play for Arsenal for the duration of the season before deciding to sign for Celtic on a free agent basis over the summer.
In 2019, the Scottish international player made the move from Celtic to Arsenal for a sum that was about 25 million pounds. His progress has been hindered by injuries, despite the fact that he has experienced fleeting periods of being a crucial player.
However, Tierney was once again plagued by injuries while he was on loan at Real Sociedad during the previous season. Celtic will be hoping that he is able to triumph over these challenges and establish himself as a vital member for the team.

It will be necessary for Celtic to wait for Kieran Tierney.According to Capology, Tierney is now earning a substantial income of £110,000 per week with Arsenal. Celtic will not be able to equal that kind of money in terms of compensation.
If Tierney had departed on loan this month, Arsenal would have been eager to have the remaining portion of his contract fulfilled, which would have amounted to about £2.5 million and would have been completed.
Although Celtic are a wealthy club in comparison to its Scottish competitors, they will not spend money when they do not have to. For example, it would not make any sense for them to invest millions of dollars on a loan for Tierney when they have the opportunity to sign him for free in six months.
There are now discussions taking on between Celtic and Arsenal; nevertheless, according to reports, it is anticipated that Tierney will return to the Glasgow club when the summer arrives.
That would be beneficial for all parties involved, as it would enable Arsenal to maintain a player on their roster, Tierney to keep his salaries, and Celtic to add a player of exceptional calibre on a free agent basis.
The Celtic club, on the other hand, has just revealed that Jota, another player who was once a fan favourite, will be returning this week. Meanwhile, Kyogo Furuhashi is expected to depart Celtic to join Rennes.
In the meanwhile, TEAMtalk has learnt that Chelsea are mulling over the possibility of making an offer for Benjamin Sesko, a striker for RB Leipzig who is also a key target for Arsenal.
Since quite some time, the Gunners have had their sights set on Sesko, and according to insiders, Leipzig may take into consideration offers in the neighbourhood of fifty million pounds this month.
It was anticipated that Arsenal would wait until the summer to make a bid for the 21-year-old player; but, if Chelsea were to make an offer for him this month, as some reports have suggested, it may push Arsenal to take action sooner to acquire his services.
In other events, there are claims coming from Spain that indicate Arsenal are prepared to activate the release clause of Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, which is worth 44 million pounds.
Williams, along with Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, is at the top of Arsenal’s wishlist, as we have previously reported. Arsenal is eager to acquire a new left-sided attacker, and they are considering Williams as a potential candidate.
