Celtic are unarguably the top Scottish club at this stroke of the hour and the anecdotes of the same could be traced to their invincible form in the ongoing season of the Ladbrokes Premiership. Brendan Rodgers has ensured that his side develops a cutting edge, at least domestically, to create a decent pedestal for themselves to launch forward in the lucrative European nights.
Celtic do have a plethora of stars on every frontier and one of their success stories has been the rise of their young left-back, Kieran Tierney. The 19-year-old has been subject to a lot of interest from European heavyweights and one of the frontrunners to lure him away from the Celtic Park are Arsenal.
The Premier League giant are reported to have been really impressed by how Tierney has performed this season and are plotting an audacious move to rope him to the Emirates Stadium.
Acknowledgement from the Gunners makes perfect sense because a young lad must be doing something really spectacular, week in and week out, to leapfrog a veteran servant like Emilio Izaguirre and cement his spot in the starting line-up in the left-back slot.
This season, the Scottish international have flourished tremendously under the excellent tutelage of Brendan Rodgers and his energy and tenacity have been thoroughly appreciated by the football fraternity.
Tierney’s direct runs up the flanks, ability to tear past defenders and sheer clinical calibre in creating genuine goal scoring chances make him a treat to watch. What is the most intriguing aspect of the Celtic youth product is that he knows to keep a perfect balance between his attacking and defensive duties and has hardly put a foot wrong this term.
He never refrains from getting into tight situations, makes sharp tackles and is one of the hottest prospects to have emerged from the top tier of Scottish football of late.
He has convinced one and all that he is destined to go far and be a top class star in the near future. However, it is important that the Bhoys do not get tempted by the offers they are likely to receive officially once the summer transfer window kicks in.
Rodgers is eyeing for consistency as well as an uplift in his side’s stature in the continent and without any shadow of a doubt, this starlet would play a key role in ensuring the same. Tierney is someone who is absolutely invaluable and his time with Celtic is far from being over at the moment.
