CELTIC FULL-BACK Kieran Tierney is adamant that he is happy at the club after being linked with a £17 million move to Chelsea.
Tierney has been named the Professional Footballers’ Association Scotland Young Player of the Year for the second season in a row and is rumoured to be a target for several English clubs.
Chelsea are reported to have joined the chase for the defender alongside Arsenal and Tottenham, while there has been speculation Tierney would rather join Manchester United.
But after collecting his Young Player of the Year award Tierney brushed off the rumours about his future and insisted he is focused on playing for Celtic.
“It’s flattering, but I don’t bother about it too much,” Tierney told Sky Sports.
My pals have been texting me and stuff like that, and it would play more in your head if you weren’t happy at your club, but I’m happy at Celtic.
“It’s just a story and I’m just concentrating on Celtic and my next training session.”

Why would he leave Celtic for Chelsea or United?Regular football is what he needs,not sitting on a bench in the Premier League wondering why he didn’t stay at Celtic
@j lad: £££££
@Joe Bloggs: it would need to be ££££££40
@Kris Hetherington: mil that is
If shaw is worth 30million tierney is worth ethe same or more hes quality . Hopefullt he stays for another few years then maybe cash in
All the people saying he isnt good enough have obviously never watched Tierney play. Playing first team football in the Champions League at 18 and not only not looking out of place but was consistently one of the best performing players on the pitch. A much higher standard than the over rated EPL.
17 million wouldn’t buy his right leg . HH
If any of the listed clubs really wanted him he would be gone, but as someone else said he will end up on the bench not playing, better off staying in the one team league he plays in at least will get a Champions League qualification game out of them.
@TonyD2469: he would start for united ? Have ya ever watchee him i dont presume ya have with your narrow minded comment. Celtic had 3 rds of qualifying this year and 6 games in the grouo stages..
@ryan o sullivan: Watched very little SPL football this year even though Eoghan O’ Connell is my cousin but his auld lad was telling me about this kid too. Apparently a lot of talk about him. He’d be better off with Celtic in the CL rather than United. No way would he get ahead of Alonso at Chelsea.
@ryan o sullivan: What exactly is narrow minded about my comment, and don’t presume because you will be wrong, I’ve seen plenty of him he is a good player in a shit one team league but if as is stated Chelsea want him then he will go and sit on the bench and the United link seems to be texts from his mates.
@TonyD2469: if you watched him you would know how good he is ya tick fuk
Tierneys dad needs to have a word with Billy Gilmours dad!
