Arsenal are confident that they will be able to sign Celtic defender Kieran Tierney ahead of the new campaign, according to a report.

Arsenal are reportedly confident that they will be able to sign Celtic defender Kieran Tierney before this summer's transfer window closes for business next month.

The Gunners have been strongly linked with a move for the Scotland international in recent weeks.

However, it had been claimed that the capital outfit were considering ending discussions with Celtic after finding it difficult to agree on a transfer figure.

Arsenal are said to have offered £25m in various add-ons, which the Hoops rejected as they wanted more money up front for the 22-year-old.

According to Sky Sports News, though, the Gunners are now confident that their next offer for the left-back will be accepted, while personal terms are not thought to be an issue.

Tierney has made 170 appearances for the Bhoys since debuting in 2015, while he has already won eight trophies during his time in the first team.

Arsenal are also said to be closing in on a deal for Lille attacker Nicolas Pepe, having agreed a £72m fee for the Ivory Coast international.
