Ex-Gunner Scott Marshall believes moving for a defender on the books at Celtic makes a lot of sense.
Kieran Tierney has been backed to be “a great player for Arsenal” by Scott Marshall, the last Scot to make a Premier League appearance for the Gunners.
Tierney could be acquired at the end of a long-running saga, with Marshall backing a move for the 22-year-old.
Marshall told the Scottish Sun on Tierney: “I’ve seen him a few times - I remember seeing the Ajax game where he kind of announced himself.
“He’s a top player with all the modern attributes of a full-back. He’s a bit of a throwback because he has that little bit of steel in his character.
“He’d be a great player for Arsenal, exactly the kind of character they need.
“At the same time, he’s under contract to Celtic and I can understand them holding out for what they value him at.
“Big transfers like these are never straightforward, there’s always a bit of to-ing and fro-ing.
“If Kieran has the desire to play for Arsenal, you’d imagine that would be what will happen.”

If Tierney wants to sign for Arsenal he should tell his current boss Lennon to get out the way!!

He will probably go but would expect him back in a few years a true Celt Born and Bred

Jr Firpo would be a damn good signing indeed, I think he's already on Barca and other La Liga teams' radar too

Martinelli for peanuts and Saliba in installments, no reason we can't have £25 million up front left over for him. Do we tolerate a loan CB if it means getting him?

What is the club thinking about the right back position

If this goes done over the line, Arsenal need to use Kolasinac more of a winger than a wing back... He is of greater threat up front than back defending. He can be a solid back up winger

The signing are okay so far but the club must bring big names .. cabellos is good but he is in loan ..saliba next year.. must go allout for zaha

Cash doesn't have to be up front. The club just wants a guaranteed at least £25m for a player we don't want or need to sell.

Celtic are a CL club Arsenal aren’t. Joining Arsenal would be a step down for him imo
