Scottish international Tierney has grown to become one of the best young left-backs in world football and it’s not surprising that clubs like Arsenal and Napoli are interested in him.
The Scotsman is also a utility player who can play effectively and efficiently as a central defender or as a right-back.
Arsenal have already been rebuffed by Celtic on two occasions in their quest to sign him.
A first bid of £15m was turned down by the Scottish Premiership giants before a second bid of £17.5m met the same response from Celtic.
The Scottish champions have already signed a left-back replacement for Tierney with the capture of Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo from Rapid Vienna FC of Austria in a £3m deal.
