Celtic star James Forrest reveals how Kieran Tierney has reacted to Arsenal transfer speculation

Celtic star James Forrest has claimed that Kieran Tierney is coping well and keeping himself to himself amid speculation linking him with Arsenal. Arsenal are close to finally confirming the signing of Tierney from Celtic, according to Sky Italy’s Antonio Russo. Unai Emery has targeted Tierney since the end of the season. He sees the Scotland international as a long-term replacement for Nacho Monreal, who only has one-year left on his contract at Arsenal. Celtic winger Forrest said: “Ask anyone in our dressing room, we all want KT to still be here. He’s been a great player for us and everyone is hoping that come Friday he is still here. We want him to get back playing for us. He came with us for pre-season and we still see him at training every day.  “But considering how long the talk about Arsenal has gone on, I think he’s handled it really well. KT is still only 22, so he’s coped well. Every day there seems to be something new in the story. ‘But he’s just keeping himself to himself and working hard. That’s credit to him.”
