Arsenal are reportedly planning to offer Celtic defender Kieran Tierney a lucrative contract in their attempts to bring him to the Emirates Stadium this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Premier League outfit recently had a bid of \u00a315 million<\/a> turned down for the Scottish full-back but are expected to go back with a higher bid sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Will Tierney’s head be turned by Arsenal? Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Tierney signed a six-year-deal with Celtic in 2017, with his contract set to expire at the end of the 2022\/23 season.<\/li>\n
  2. Celtic have again reached the Champions League qualifiers whereas Arsenal will be competing in the Europa League next season.<\/li>\n
  3. Arsenal only have a reported summer transfer budget of \u00a345 million.<\/li>\n
  4. Tierney made 20 league appearances during the 2018\/19 season as Celtic won yet another Scottish Premiership title.<\/li>\n
  5. The 22-year-old has 12 caps for Scotland but is constantly competing with Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson for a starting place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
