Arsenal Face Competition From Napoli for Celtic Full Back Kieran Tierney

Arsenal face serious pressure from Napoli in their pursuit of Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, with the Serie A side set to make a place in their team for him by selling Mario Rui.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with Tierney all summer, with Unai Emery desperate for defensive reinforcements. However, a deal is yet to materialise, giving Napoli the chance to involve themselves in the discussion.

The Telegraph claim that Napoli are ready to step up their pursuit of Tierney, with Rui set to leave the club to make space for the Scotland international.
