Celtic hero to reject Barcelona and Real Madrid transfer interest after shock speculation

Former Celtic star Kieran Tierney is set to rebuff transfer interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer, according to reports.

The Muirhouse man is thriving at Arsenal and has become a key player since his move from Parkhead to London in 2019.

A candidate for the Gunners captaincy, the 24-year-old is believed to be a £50 million target in Madrid as they look for Ferland Mendy competition.

Barcelona are also believed to be monitoring the situation.

Football London report that Tierney has 'no intention' of leaving his contract at Arsenal, which expires in 2026.

He is happy in North London and wants to remain committed to the side which handed him his English chance.

The Scotland international has made 87 appearances for Arsenal since leaving Celtic and netted his first Scots goal against Austria last week.
