Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Kieran Tierney will move to Celtic from Arsenal this summer at the latest – and that fellow left-back Alex Valle’s loan from Barcelona is being cut short.
Tierney is out of contract with the Premier League club this summer and Celtic are hoping an agreement can be reached to bring the 27-year-old Scotland defender to the Scottish champions during January.
There had been speculation about Valle’s future should Tierney return to Celtic, with Italian club Como reportedly interested in taking the 20-year-old on loan for the rest of the season.
Manager Rodgers says Valle will not play for Celtic again and also confirmed that the Scottish champions are hoping to sign a replacement for striker Kyogo Furuhashi, who was sold to Rennes on Monday.
