White flag raised as player set to sign for Celtic – Defeat being conceded in transfer tussle

According to Turkish media, Kieran Tierney, a defender for Arsenal, is close to agreeing to return to Celtic, thus Fenerbahce will not be able to sign him. The Scotland international has been connected to a potential reunion with Brendan Rodgers and a return to Celtic in recent days. While Jose Mourinho continues to look for a left defender, Fotomac reports on Fenerbahce’s pursuit of the Arsenal player.

Due to Jayden Oosterwolde’s chronic injury, Mourinho must solve this position. In the summer, the Istanbul team sold Ferdi Kadıoğlu to Brighton & Hove Albion. Following rumors that Diego Carlos of Aston Villa will join the Super Lig powerhouses, the Portuguese coach appears to have found a solution to his center defense issues.

However, Tierney is reportedly joining Celtic, so Mourinho will have to find elsewhere for a left defender. Despite claims in Turkey that the player was offered to Fener through agents, he is allegedly in negotiations with the Scottish club. Five and a half years after leaving the Scottish champions for Arsenal, Tierney is reportedly getting close to rejoining Celtic, according to reports in the UK media. In the summer, Tierney’s deal with the Gunners comes to an end.
