Neil Lennon admits Celtic will sign a left-back if Kieran Tierney leaves the club

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has admitted that he will sign a new left-back this summer if Kieran Tierney leaves the club.

Arsenal are heavily interested in signing the top-class Scotland left-back, but the Gunners have not been able to meet Celtic’s £25 million valuation of the player.

The Gunners have had two bids rejected for Tierney already, with Lennon admitting recently that the deal could be off.

However, Arsenal have reignited their interest in the 22-year-old and are reportedly ready to present a structured deal for Tierney before the end of the transfer window.
