Some Celtic fans have been talking about the latest transfer news involving Kieran Tierney that emerged on social media recently.
According to the Transfer Window Podcast, Leicester City are looking at the possibility of signing Tierney from Arsenal. It is said that former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers really likes Tierney from their time together at Parkhead and sees the Scotsman as a replacement for Ben Chilwell.
The news linking Tierney with a move to the King Power Stadium was relayed on Twitter by the Scottish Sun. Many Celtic fans flocked to this news. One of them said that maybe a loan move back to Celtic is bound to happen for him.
Celtic loan….almost like it was written..

Do you think Tierney can return to Celtic?
No chance
It can happen!
Another Hoops fan said that selling Tierney to Arsenal for £25 million was ‘easy money’ for Celtic.
That was easy money?

The Daily Record also relayed this news about Tierney. A couple of Hoops fans said they only hope that the club get something from a potential sell-on clause if the defender does leave Arsenal.
Hopefully big Pedro has added a sell on clause ?

These Celtic fans seem to have a variety of opinions about this news. No one knows if the information is completely reliable or not, but it does suggest that Tierney’s future might be uncertain.
As a Celtic player, the defender made 170 appearances in all competitions. He racked up as many as 37 assists for the Hoops (via Transfermarkt).
Considering Tierney’s contributions to Celtic in the past, the club’s fans should wish him well for the future even if he doesn’t return to the club as one fan is hoping for. That there has been so much interest in the full-back despite his recent departure from the club goes to show how the fanbase continues to view him in his post-Celtic career.
