Kieran Tierney's inside track on Celtic's Japanese stars as Arsenal secret agent provides lowdown

Kieran Tierney admits Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu has been giving him the inside track on Celtic's influx of J-League stars.

Ange Postecoglou knows the market very well and in his time at the Hoops has brought in Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, Yuki Kobayashi, Tomoki Iwata and Yosuke Ideguchi. Across the board the signings have proved to be largely successful for the Scottish champions. The Far East arrivals may not be familiar to the Celtic diehard, but his Gunners team-mate has been on hand to provide the lowdown.

The Scotland international has even tried to make his pal a Celtic fan by admitting that he will sit and watch his boyhood team in action with Tomiyasu if there is ever a match on while they are at the training ground. It's been a hugely successful season to date on the park for Arsenal with Mikel Arteta's men leading the English Premier League. It's not been ideal for KT on a personal level with reports circulating over his future at the Emirates with game-time proving hard to come by.
