Neil Lennon Convinced the Speculation of Kieran Tierney’s Transfer to Arsenal Has Ended

DBasia.news –  Failure to qualify for the Champions League does not mean stopping Arsenal’s transfer maneuver. The proof, they can still recruit young Brazilian strikers, Gabriel Martinelli.

Actually, there are still some players who are on the shopping list, one of the main target players is Glasgow Celtic’s tough defender, Kieran Tierney. Unfortunately, the three bids that have been submitted by the Gunners were immediately rejected by the defending champions of the Scottish Premiership.

Now the opportunity to see Tierney immediately joined the Emirates Stadium seems to have been closed, this was even confirmed directly by the Celtic manager, Neil Lennon.

“Kieran Tierney’s transfer agreement is still very far away. His move to Arsenal will not happen. We are very happy to be able to continue to maintain it,” Lennon said as reported by Goal.

“As far as I know, the negotiations are officially over and closed. I do not know whether Arsenal will meet the price we have set,” added the 48-year-old man.

Kieran Tierney’s appearance in the 2018/19 season was indeed quite consistent, the Scottish player was an irreplaceable figure in defense and successfully appeared in 40 matches. Celtic also managed to defend the Scottish Premier League title in eight consecutive seasons.

Failing to land the 22-year-old did not necessarily stop the Gunners’ activities in the transfer market, the club currently being trained by Unai Emery is rumored to be completing the transfer of Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid soon.
