Kieran Tierney

The Scotland international is a summer target for Unai Emery’s side, but they face competition from Serie A side Napoli.

Sky Sports News reports that the Gunners submitted a bit worth around £25 million for the 22-year-old.

However, it was knocked back by the Scottish champions, who weren’t satisfied by the payment structure and want more cash up front.

Tierney played 26 games in all competitions for the Bhoys last season as Neil Lennon's side claimed a historic treble-treble.
