According to The Scottish Sun, Arsenal could offer Celtic a part-exchange as they hope to win the race for Kieran Tierney. After Napoli entered the race, Arsenal have decided to act quickly to win this race.

The Gunners are desperate to sign Tierney to solve their left-back problem. Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac shared the left-back duties last year but Tierney is seen as the ideal long-term choice.

Here are the four players Arsenal are considering sending to Celtic (presumably on loan) to sweeten the deal for Tierney, according to this report by The Scottish Sun.

Celtic reportedly want to sign Jenkinson this summer. According to The Scottish Sun (via HITC Sport), the once-capped England right-back is on Celtic’s radar.

The Bhoys need a new right-back after Mikael Lustig’s departure and he could sign Jenkinson on loan. The 27-year-old has struggled to get games under his belt at Arsenal but has previously had loan spells with West Ham and Birmingham City.

Nketiah is Arsenal’s third choice striker at the moment after Danny Welbeck was released. But the England U21 starlet could be sent out on loan if Arsenal sign another forward.

The 20-year-old is an exciting talent and already has three senior goals. With nine goals in 10 Premier League 2 games last season, he is now ready to step up from U23 football – either at Arsenal or out on loan.

Osei-Tutu could be a cheaper alternative to Jenkinson. The 20-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut but he was a regular in Arsenal’s U23 team last season.

He has been named on the bench for the Gunners, showing how highly rated he is. But a loan spell is the next step for his development and Celtic need a new full-back.

Arsenal starlet Smith Rowe burst onto the scene last season and scored three times in six senior games. The England youth starlet plays anywhere in the attacking midfield line and he has an eye for goal.

Last January, Smith Rowe headed to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig on loan but injury restricted him to just three outings. The 18-year-old could now head out on loan again next season.
