The Celtic left-back has been the subject of multiple bids from the Gunners, but his move to London could be on the verge of collapse
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has said that in his eyes, left-back Kieran Tierney's transfer to Arsenal is off.
“The deal, as far as I’m aware, is not happening," Lennon said. "We are delighted about that and it’s just a question of appeasing his mind now.
“As far as I am aware, it is finished. I don’t know if Arsenal are going to meet our valuation. So it is basically as you were."
The Hoops boss knows that if Tierney does stick around, he'll have a difficult job to get him refocused as Celtic chase a ninth consecutive Scottish title.
“That may be difficult for Kieran to get his head around – or he comes back to the fold and gets on with things.
“I’ll have to speak to him and I’m sure the club will as well. But it may rumble on as well, I don’t know."
Though Lennon attempted to shut down Tierney's move to Arsenal, he admitted that nothing would be completely settled until after the Premier League transfer window closes on August 8.
“Until the window closes, we can’t relax and I’m sure Kieran can’t either," Lennon said.
