JOHN HARTSON has come out swinging with regards to Arsenal’s interest in Kieran Tierney. Hartson has played for both Arsenal and Celtic back in his playing days but he was not impressed by the London club lowballing Celtic.
Taking to social media, Hartson branded the £15m offer from Arsenal as ‘taking the p***’. He then suggested the Emirates club get serious if they really want Kieran.
Kt situation is Arsenal have made an offer of 15m for the player.. it’s taking the P***.. Celtic rightly have refused as they don’t want to sell.Arsenal to up the stakes to 20m with addons. 25m.. then it’s Celtic’s call. They could just say no of course !

Kieran was subject of a £15million bid over the weekend which was swiftly booted into touch by Celtic. Since then there have been varying reports about Arsenal’s current status on the player.
What seems to be universally accepted by people who have actually seen Kieran Tierney play is £15million is a derisory offer.
Arsenal have money to burn and they thought they could just come in and take Kieran for £15million and hope we’d be happy to take the cash. That hasn’t been the case and they will not get him for anywhere near that price.
