Kieran Tierney will spend the rest of the season at Arsenal before joining Celtic in the summer after agreeing a pre-contract deal with the Scottish club. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen for the 27-year-old to stay at the Emirates instead of leaving in this window because of his leadership qualities and the injury problems his side have faced.

It is believed that a deal is already in place for Kieran Tierney to join Celtic next summer as a free agent when his Arsenal contract runs out. The Premier League club had the option to extend it by another twelve months but chose not to do so.

Tierney is set to leave Arsenal for Celtic, be that now or in the summer, and Chris Sutton has now shared his reaction to this news. Sutton reacted to the news about Tierney returning to Celtic on social media. Sutton, of course, has a soft spot for Celtic having played for the club during his career.
