Former Celtic defender Kieran Tierney is a transfer target for Aston Villa this summer, according to reports.
The Scotland internationalist, who played 170 times for the Glasgow side, has previously been linked with high-flying Newcastle United in recent months, but according to The Telegraph there is interest from the Midlands.
Tierney made his Celtic debut in 2015, coming on as a substitute against Dundee at Dens Park. The fan-favourite would go on to win eight domestic pieces of silverware with the Hoops, including four league titles, two Scottish Cups and a further two Scottish League Cups.
He left the Parkhead club in 2019 for North London side Arsenal for a reported £25million, breaking the record sale for Celtic in the process. Despite making 119 appearances for Mikel Arteta’s Gunners side, he has only made one start this calendar year, with Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko being preferred in the left-back position.
If Tierney was to sign with the Villains, he would be reunited with the Arsenal manager that signed him to the club, as Spaniard Unai Emery is now in charge after replacing ex-Rangers manager Steven Gerrard at the helm of the Birmingham club.
Meanwhile, Kyogo Furuhashi insists he is "honoured" every time he gets to pull on the Celtic jersey as he opened up on his future at the club.
The Japanese striker has been a revelation since he moved to Glasgow as Ange Postecoglou's first signing at the club.
Kyogo's goals, assists and all-round personality has made him a favourite with Parkhead supporters, but his form is also sure to have grabbed the attention of some of Europe's elite clubs.
The 28-year-old though is fully focussed on all things Celtic.
He said: “I want to enjoy the games. We still have five games left and we want to enjoy it as much as we did in the past seasons.
"While I’ve been here at the club, a lot of players have left and a lot of players have come in. I’m honoured to be able to stay at the club and play here.”
