The impact of Nicolas Pepe's signature on the transfer of Kieran Tierney from Arsenal

The Arsenal deal for Nicolas Pepe could have an impact on the club in its pursuit of Celtic Kieran Tierney's ace.

The Gunners are likely to complete the signing of the 24-year-old winger over the next few days, unless another club turns away.

However, this could mean a more difficult period for the signing of Scottish international defender Tierney.

The 22-year-old enjoys an excellent reputation with the Scottish giants. The inhabitants of the north of the country are considering concluding a low-price deal for the left-back.

During the podcast of "The Transfer Window", Ian McGarry and his guest, Duncan Castles, explained what Pepe's signature could mean for Arsenal's chances of getting Tierney signed.

The castles opposed the question to McGarry by stating, "Can the 80 million pound deal for Pepe have an impact on Kieran Tierney's signing efforts at an acceptable price for Arsenal?"

"I think it will have a negative effect," said McGarry.

"The way Celtic is going to see things – Arsenal is already trying to do it cheap for what it is, paying in installments.

"They're going to look at the Pepe affair and say to themselves" were you just playing us all the time? "

"Advocate for poverty by saying that we can only pay you this amount this year and this year and that you have a board of directors and an owner who know the value of a book, so I think that will have the opposite effect in terms of Celtic's persuasion. " to sell."

Tierney burst onto the Celtic stage in 2014, making two appearances towards the end of the campaign. He then played 33 appearances in all competitions.

Since his debut in 2014, the Scot has made 168 appearances, helping the Scottish giants to win the title for the past five seasons, he has also won the Scottish Cup and the Scottish Cup three times.
