ARSENAL fans are convinced the Gunners are finally set to sign Kieran Tierney after Celtic have completed a deal for his possible replacement.
Left-back Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo joined the Hoops from Rapid Vienna yesterday, penning a four-year deal.
Arsenal have been locked in talks with Celtic for weeks as the Scottish champs are holding out for £25million for Tierney.
But the Gunners are claimed to have eventually made an offer that could satisfy Hoops chiefs.
Their first bid of £15m was quickly rejected by the Scots, who insisted they would only sell their star for the right price.
But Arsenal fans are now hopeful a deal with is imminent after new defender Bolingoli-Mbombo joined Neil Lennon's side late on Wednesday.
And they took to social media to share their assumptions with fellow Gunners.
Frank wrote on Twitter: "Tierney to Arsenal is done then fellas."
While Dan simply used hashtag #AnnounceTierney.
And Frank added: "Tierney to Arsenal is done then fellas."
Celtic fans, however, were quick to point out that Tierney was Lennon's only left-back before Bolingoli-Mbombo joined.
Therefore, they argued that Arsenal fans' joy could be premature.
