Premier League giants Chelsea are ready to swoop for Celtic youngster Kieran Tierney, according to reports.
Interest in the highly-rated defender has continued to grow during the window and a number of teams are now rumoured to be interested in securing his signature.
The 19-year-old has already been linked with clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool and even Bayern Munich.
Although the player has said he would like to stay with Celtic, it remains to be seen if Tierney would turn down a mega-bucks deal if an elite club were to make an offer.
He told Sky Sports News: “It’s flattering hearing clubs like Bayern and Chelsea mentioned.
“They are some of the best teams in the world but if you are a youngster playing first-team games every week for Celtic and doing well, you will get noticed by teams in Europe.”
The youngster is currently working to regain fitness after suffering ankle ligament damage in October.
