Why Kieran Tierney would be an excellent signing for Arsenal

The Gunners are in need of a left-back for the upcoming season and according to the Daily Mail the 22-year-old is a priority.

Arsenal were installed as favourites to sign the Scotland international.

He has also been linked with moves to Euro giants Lyon and Barcelona as well as mid-table Premier League outfit Leicester City with ex-Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers keen.

According to reports in Spain, Celtic will demand at least £26million for the player who is contracted until 2023.
