Arsenal's opening bid for Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney has been branded "embarrassing" by former Gunners' striker John Hartson.
Widespread reports say the North London outfit tabled a £15 million offer that included one of Carl Jenkinson, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah moving in the opposite direction.
However, Celtic have turned down the proposal as they are believed to be looking for closer to £25 million for the three-time Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year.

And Hartson, who scored over 100 goals in five years at Celtic, took to Twitter to air his thoughts.
With Nacho Monreal not getting any younger, Unai Emery wants a new left-back and has identifIed Tierney as his prime target.
And despite the first bid getting knocked back, David Ornstein of BBC Sport says a deal could well be struck and that there wouldn't be much difficulty negotiating with the player himself.
Tierney has been with his boyhood club since the age of seven and made his debut against Dundee in 2015. He's since gone on to make a further 169 appearances for the Bhoys, scoring nine goals and winning ten trophies - including three consecutive trebles.
A high-profile move is surely around the corner for the Scotland international and Arsenal would appear to be a good fit if a deal can be thrashed out.
