Brendan Rodgers has confirmed for the first time that Celtic have agreed a deal to re-sign Kieran Tierney from Arsenal. With a free transfer in place for the summer, Celtic hope to be able to bring Tierney back to Glasgow before this transfer window closes.

Celtic sold Tierney to Arsenal in 2019 for £25m, the left-back having come through the youth ranks at the Scottish champions. Speculation never really disappeared that Tierney would return to Celtic; those stories intensified after it became clear Arsenal would not take up the option to extend his contract at the end of this campaign.
