Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney was recently seen in conversation with Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers during a charity event, igniting speculations about his future with the club. The two were engaged in discussion at the Celtic Foundation’s annual gala in London, with Tierney taking time from his commitments with Arsenal to attend. Rodgers, who rejoined Celtic last summer, previously worked with the 27-year-old during Tierney’s tenure at Celtic Park. Despite being a Scotland international, Tierney has yet to appear under Mikel Arteta this season. Fans have been quick to speculate online about the nature of Tierney’s discussion with Rodgers, especially since rumors of a potential return to his childhood club have circulated in recent weeks.
Taking to social media, Tierney shared his thoughts.
Kieran Tierney said, “Great night for an amazing cause. Look at the squad depth in that position now. They have Zinchenko, Timber, Tomiyasu, Kiwior. Four players can play there. So if I go back and it’s the same as before, then I’m not silly, I know the chances are I’ll be leaving. But you never know in football. Stranger things have happened. I could go back and there is a place for me. “
