Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing Kieran Tierney, according to The Daily Mail, but the Celtic left-back should ignore the Premier League duo’s interest and stay put at Celtic Park.

True, Everton are a massive club with a lot of ambition, but the Toffees are not in the Champions League and are unlikely to be in the competition anytime soon.

As for Wolves, the Wanderers have only just got promoted to the Premier League, and they can offer Tierney nothing much.

While Everton and Wolves can certainly offer more money than Celtic can, at this stage of his career, Tierney needs to play regularly and work with a manager like Brendan Rodgers who has patience with young players and allows them to develop at their own pace.

Moreover, if Tierney continues to progress and develop as he has done over the past three or so years, the Scotland international, who can also operate as a centre-back or as a right-back, will get offers from far bigger clubs than Everton and Wolves.
