Could Real Madrid join Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for Celtic defender Kieran Tierney?

Chris Sutton has predicted in The Daily Record that Real Madrid will be interested in Celtic defender Kieran Tierney.

Tierney is one of the best defenders in the Scottish Premiership and is one of the best young left-backs in Europe.

The 20-year-old has established himself as a regular in the Celtic first team, and his performance against Bayern Munich at Celtic Park in the Champions League on Tuesday evening was stunning.

Although the Scotland international recently signed a new contract with the Hoops, speculation has linked the left-back with moves away from Celtic Park.

According to ESPN, Premier League trio Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal are interested in signing the left-back next summer.

Former Celtic striker Sutton has predicted that Spanish and European giants Madrid will be interested in Tierney.

“Tierney at £30m would be a bargain,” Sutton wrote in The Daily Record. “He’s only 20 and with his attitude he will get even better.

“There’s absolutely no doubt he can cut it at the likes of United, Chelsea or Arsenal but I’d go even further. European teams will be looking at him – including the likes of Real Madrid.

“That’s how good he is and that’s why it’s hard to see him spending his entire career at Celtic.”

Tierney is a superb young defender, and the progress he has made under manager Brendan Rodgers at Celtic has been stunning. The Scottish youngster is only going to get better.
