5 deals that could go through before Thursday’s Premier League transfer deadline

Kieran Tierney (Celtic to Arsenal)

The Celtic Left back has been chased by Arsenal all summer long.

Arsenal have a very fragile back four and are in desperate need to bolster their defensive line. They have had two bids declined so far. However, reports suggest that Arsenal are confident of landing Tierney before the transfer window closes and the Scotsman is very likely to replace his Celtic Green stripes for the Red of London.

Celtic head coach Neil Lennon said that he was expecting a third bid soon.

“I know these deals can get done at a minute to twelve,” Lennon said. “I’d be surprised if there wasn’t another offer for Kieran, but delighted.

“He’ll be fit in a week or two. He still has some adductor pain, but I think the pubic problem is starting to settle and he’s over the double hernia.”

Arsenal and Celtic are apart on their valuation of the left-back. Celtic are demanding around £25m for the defender. However, Arsenal’s offer only reaches their asking price through additional clauses. Football London have reported that Arsenal will make a third and final bid for Tierney before Thursday’s 5pm deadline.
