Newcastle United could be seen off by Celtic in their pursuit of in-demand Kieran Tierney - with Arsenal reportedly offering the Scottish champions at cut-price deal.
The Scotland star is behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the Arsenal first-team picture and looks to be edging closer to the Emirates exit door this summer with regular game time under Mikel Arteta limited.
Eddie Howe is reportedly tracking a move for Tierney with Newcastle in dire need of reinforcements in left-back - but reports south of the border suggest the 26-year-old would prefer a reunion with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic Park.
It would be a huge spend by Celtic to bring the academy graduate back to Parkhead this summer - who left in 2019 for £25million - but with Rodgers looking to make a mark on the Champions League next term it could be the landmark deal the Irishman is looking for.
