Celtic captain, Callum McGregor, recently addressed the rumors surrounding his former teammate, Kieran Tierney, who currently plays for Arsenal. McGregor acknowledged that there have been talks of Tierney possibly returning to Celtic, and he believes it would be a great addition for the team.
Tierney recently made his first appearance of the season for Arsenal in their Carabao Cup victory against Crystal Palace. McGregor and Tierney both came through Celtic's academy and have played together for several years. McGregor spoke highly of Tierney, describing him as a "quality player" and expressing his excitement at the possibility of reuniting with him at Celtic.
However, Tierney has faced some challenges since joining Arsenal, including a series of injuries that have impacted his progress and playing time. He even spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad to try and regain his form. With his contract set to expire next summer, it seems that Arsenal may be looking to offload him in the upcoming January transfer window.
Celtic is the front-runner for Tierney's signature, and if he does return, he would be reunited with McGregor, who took over the captain's armband three years ago. McGregor is open to the idea of new faces joining the team in January, as it would push the group to improve and make the squad stronger. He trusts that the club will make the best deals possible to strengthen the team.
Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, also mentioned that the club has plans to strengthen in key areas, but he did not confirm any specific players. He did, however, acknowledge that there have been talks of Tierney joining Celtic again. Rodgers believes in the current players and their hard work but also recognizes the importance of improving the squad.
As for Tierney's current situation at Arsenal, McGregor admits that he has not spoken to him yet, but he has seen all the speculation and rumors. He believes that the players are usually the last ones to know about potential transfers and that they will welcome any new faces that come in. McGregor trusts that the club will make the best decisions for the team and that they will support and help any new players settle in quickly.
In the end, no one knows for sure what will happen, but McGregor and the rest of the team are focused on giving their best on the pitch and leaving the transfer decisions to the club. They are excited for the possibility of new players joining the squad and are determined to continue working hard to achieve success.
