Fulham and Scottish giants Celtic are interested in signing one Arsenal defender this summer.
The Gunners are expected to part ways with a number of players in this window. As many as 10 players have been put on the ‘chopping block’ by Mikel Arteta.
Emile Smith Rowe has already been linked with a move to Fulham. Now, Marco Silva’s side are thinking of signing another player from Arsenal.
However, this move depends on one condition.
Fulham want to sign Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney on one condition
Arsenal star Kieran Tierney is expected to leave the club this summer.
The Scot joined the Gunners back in 2019, when Unai Emery was still at the helm. He is a fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium, but he is no longer in Arteta’s plans.
Arsenal have Jurrien Timber, Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu all ahead of Tierney at left-back, while the Gunners are trying to sign Jorrel Hato too in that position.
That almost certainly brings an end to Tierney’s Arsenal career, and Football Transfers now reveal that Fulham would like to sign him – but only if their current left-back leaves.
The Cottagers are open to selling Antonee Robinson, who has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Liverpool.
If the USMNT international is sold, Tierney is the man they want as his replacement, and Arsenal are ready to sell him.
The report claims the Gunners are looking for £15 million to sell Tierney this summer.

Celtic’s stance on signing Tierney
Along with Fulham, Celtic are said to be interested in signing Tierney this summer.
The defender is a hero at Parkhead having helped the Hoops win five Scottish League titles and six domestic cups while he was there.
Tierney has admitted that he would love to return to Celtic, but only if he is feeling 100 per cent.
However, the report claims that although Celtic would like to sign him, they just cannot match Arsenal’s demands for him in this window.
Tierney is currently away on international duty with Scotland at Euro 2024. His future will likely be decided once he is back.
