Keiran Tierney, a target of 25 million pounds sterling for ARSENAL, is suffering from an injury that could put him out of action for up to eight weeks.

The left back has pain in the groin and stomach every time he hits a balloon.

The news, revealed by his boss Celtic, Neil Lennon, could tip the blockage to the Gunners.

Arsenal chief, Unai Emery, sued the defender, 22, all summer.

But the price was a huge stumbling block, the Gunners apparently only wanting to pay £ 20m and several installments over several years.

However, this latest news could spell the end of any transfer south of the border.

The boss of the hoops said: "He is still injured and he is being treated.

"He had a double hernia and he still has the problem of osteitis pubis, so it's a slow burner."

It is thought that rest and a period of no kicking or running can solve the problem, which affects 43% of footballers.

The Scottish star could now be absent for three to eight weeks, which would prevent him from being eliminated from the qualifiers of the Celtic Champions League.

And that could mean that Emery will turn elsewhere.

The boss of the Gunners flew to Nicolas Pepe, the Lille winger of £ 72 million, earlier this week.

He is also targeting a central defender.

The transfer window closes Thursday with the Gunners who will face Newcastle on the opening weekend.
