Celtic have rejected a £15m bid from Arsenal for defender Kieran Tierney, Sky Sports News understands.

As reported elsewhere, Arsenal's initial offer for the left-back was turned down by the Scottish Premiership champions and the Gunners are expected to come back with an improved offer.

Sky Sports News understands that Serie A side Napoli are also interested in a deal for the Scotland international.

Tierney was hampered by a hernia problem last season and is currently recovering from surgery.
