Celtic Boss Neil Lennon Comments on Keiran Tierney Speculation Amid Links to Arsenal

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has admitted that he has spoken to left back Keiran Tierney about Arsenal's transfer interest, but insisted the Gunners will have to up their bid to land the star.

The 22-year-old Tierney was the subject to an initial £15m bid from Arsenal, who are on the hunt for defensive reinforcements this summer, but Lennon has claimed it will take a 'lot more' to sign the young star.

Having just finished his fifth season with Celtic, Tierney is a four-time Scottish Premiership winner and won the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year three years in a row between 2016 and 2018.
