Kieran Tierney to Celtic transfer kept alive by 3 Newcastle deal hurdles as Harvey Barnes kickstarts domino effect

Arsenal outcast Kieran Tierney could see a dream move to Celtic left as his ONLY option this summer with Newcastle United's interest reportedly cooling.

The former Hoops star is facing an uncertain future at the Emirates and has always admitted he’d love to one day to return to his his boyhood club, and boss Brendan Rodgers has left the door open to a reunion as he confessed "you can just never say never in football" when asked about a switch. However, reports south of the border suggest the Hoops would only be open to a loan move with Arsenal demanding £30million for the full-back.

That saw Eddie Howe's side emerge as the frontrunners - but Newcastle look to have scaled back their interest in the 26-year-old following the addition of Harvey Barnes from Leicester. The 25-year-old has sealed a £38million move to St James Park with Howe landing one of his top summer targets.

Following Barnes, The Daily Mail report that Southampton Tino Livramento is next on the shopping list - and that could end Newcastle's summer business amid Financial Fair Play restrictions. It is stated that a long-term solution at left-back could be pushed until the next summer window.

And talkSPORT transfer insider Alex Crook also noted another blow to Tierney if he is hoping to land a Magpies' move this summer. He claimed that Arsenal's hefty valuation and the injury record of the Scotland hero was led to silence on a deal from the Geordie outfit.
