Arsenal and Celtic are just £2m apart in their negotiations for fullback Kieran Tierney, according to the latest reports in the English media.
Claims in the Scottish press had poured cold water on the deal happening with it being reported that the Gunners had pulled out entirely.
However, this latest news has got fans talking on Twitter, with many hoping that the London club can get the deal over the line:

Can we get more embarrassing

It’s really embarrassing how we still have not paid up for him. To not get him this summer would be a disaster imo, can’t rely on attack getting us top 4 alone. Defense is far too shaky and nothing’s changed

Only a couple of million pounds difference away FC

Tierney is believed to be keen on a move to the Emirates, and with no other club having made an official bid for the left-back, Unai Emery’s side do have a clear run to sign the player.
Whether the Gunners can finally come up with the funds to seal a deal for the Scottish international before the transfer window closes in a fortnight, we shall see.
