Tierney not focusing on talk of Rodgers reunion

Kieran Tierney has insisted his focus firmly remains on Celtic amidst speculation that he could secure a Premier League move by joining former manager Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City.

Rodgers’ influence at the Hoops quickly earnt the respect of the supporters and players as he led the club to back-to-back trebles over his three-year stint in Scotland.

Speaking to the Daily Record though, Tierney isn’t fazed by speculation linking him with a move to Leicester, even though it sounds like it’s his friends doing most of the speculating.

There are going to be rumours like that. I’ve seen and heard them as well. I’ve been on the end of speculation for a few transfer windows so it’s nothing different for me. It doesn’t take my mind off Celtic. My pals ask me too and there will be links with a lot of Celtic players. It’s natural because it’s his old club but it’s nothing I know of.

Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell has been the subject of plenty of transfer talk heading into the summer window, with Manchester City reportedly his biggest suitors, and Tierney could be a worthy replacement if he does leave the King Power Stadium.

It seems like, for now at least, his heart remains at Celtic Park as Neil Lennon looks to finish the job Rodgers started before swiftly departing last month by leading the club to a landmark 50th Scottish Premiership crown.
