Arsenal star 'close' to securing move away from the club as first January deal - but the defender won't leave until the summer

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney is reportedly close to an emotional return to Celtic.

The Scot joined the Gunners in 2019 from Celtic after coming through the ranks at his boyhood club.

The left-back settled into the Emirates nicely, making 27 Premier League appearances in the 2020-21 season, 22 in the 2021-22 campaign and 27 the following year.

But he was sent on loan to Real Sociedad last season as Mikel Arteta looked to take his side to the next level, favouring the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior instead.
