Arsenal fear missing out on defender after failing to agree a deal

Kieran Tierney may not get his dream move to Arsenal this summer.

The Gunners have so far failed to match Celtic’s  £25m asking price for the defender.

Now, The Telegraph say Unai Emery’s side have anxiously started to consider other alternatives after hitting a brick wall in negotiations for Tierney.

The Celtic full-back is said to be keen on a move to The Emirates and remains Emery’s No 1 target. However, talks with Celtic over Scotsman have now been dragging on for nearly two months and the clubs appear little closer into agreeing a fee.

So far, Arsenal have made two official bids for the left-back, which fall under Celtic’s valuation. The SPL championsc have made it clear that they will not sell unless the full £25m fee is guaranteed.

Arsenal have effectively wrapped up a £27million deal for St.Etienne centre-half William Saliba, who will undergo a medical on Tuesday.
