Arsenal are set to launch a bid for Celtic defender, Kieran Tierney as part of effort to bolster their defense ahead of next season, reports the Daily Mail.

The 22-year-old full-back still has four years remaining on his current contract at Celtic Park and would, therefore, attract a huge fee should Arsenal follow up their interest.

“We have no news. We are waiting for proposals in the coming days but for the moment we do not have any,” Aulas told the club’s website.

Napoli makes progress on James deal

Napoli are understood to have made significant progress in their negotiation with Real Madrid on a deal for James Rodriguez.
