Unai Emery’s Arsenal reportedly want to bring Celtic’s Scottish Premiership winning left-back Tierney to the Premier League in the summer.
Reports from the Scottish Sun that Arsenal are keen to sign Kieran Tierney this summer appear to have gone down a treat in North London.
The report claims that Arsenal have been scouting the explosive left-back for two years and believe that he is ready to make the step up to the Premier League. The Gunners have also shown a willingness to meet Celtic’s £25 million price-tag – which would make him comfortably the most expensive export in the club’s history.
While the cynics may sneer at the quality of football north of the border, anyone who has watched Tierney in action either at home or abroad will tell you that there should be no concerns about his potential.
A left-back with remarkable pace and terrific end product, his pinpoint crossing has seen him accumulate 17 assists since the start of last season.
Tierney can play on the left of a back three too with his impressive distribution likely to suit an Arsenal side who tend to play out from the back under Unai Emery – especially with Nacho Monreal’s contract expiring in July.
