Tierney has told the Scottish champions of his desire to to play in the Premier League and would be welcome reinforcement to a questionable Arsenal backline.

Celtic are reportedly convinced with the new offer, and willing to complete the formalities to propel Arsenal to complete another stellar signing this summer.

However, this transfer window has been merry for Arsenal, even though the club initially announced a slim budget this summer to make transfers, the club still were able to sign William Saliba, Dani Ceballos, and now about to hire Pepe.

With Tierney making a move to the Emirates, most of the problems Arsenal having will solve after a certain time, as all the signings are promising. Although, out of all Saliba will join Arsenal contingent next summer, as he went back to St. Etienne on a loan.

As of now, the official announcements by both the clubs, confirming the news are still awaited.
