Celtic legend Petrov wants Tierney saga wrapped up as Arsenal see £25m bid knocked back

The former Hoops midfielder is hoping to see a long-running transfer episode brought to a close so that those at Parkhead know where they stand

Celtic legend Stiliyan Petrov is looking to see the Kieran Tierney transfer saga “resolved as soon as possible”, with interest from Arsenal proving to be an unwelcome distraction.

Goal has learned that a £25 million ($31m) bid from the Gunners for the highly-rated left-back has been rejected.

Those at Emirates Stadium have raised the stakes from an initial offer of £15m ($19m), but they are still falling short of Celtic’s valuation.
