Charlie Nicholas is happy seeing Celtic fullback Kieran Tierney due to sign for Arsenal.

Tierney is finalising his move this afternoon.

Nicholas told Sky Sports, "As a Celtic and Arsenal fan, I'm happy Arsenal have identified they need a stronger left-back. Kieran Tierney has improved a lot, he'd be better than what Arsenal currently have, I think it's a high price, he's been a treble-treble winner and it's been an awkward situation for him, but I think the time is right for him to move on.

"Celtic fans might ask why he doesn't stay for nine in a row. That's not guaranteed, neither is 10. Going to a big club like Arsenal, in the Premier League, you can't guarantee trophies but they are signing a very good left-back who can get better, and I think they needed to make a statement of intent defensively because they look very exciting going forward."
