Celtic defender Kieran Tierney is reportedly on the radar of Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.
Kieran Tierney is one of the best young defenders in Europe, and there is no surprise that Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Bournemouth have been linked with the Celtic left-back.
According to a report in The Scottish Sun last month, Tottenham, United and Bournemouth are interested in signing Tierney from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
A recent report in The Daily Mail has claimed that Cherries are ready to pay £20 million as transfer fee for the 20-year-old left-back.
Celtic winger David Provan, though, does not think that Tierney should not leave the Hoops for Bournemouth.
The former Celtic and Scotland international winger wrote in The Scottish Sun: “There are plenty of English grounds that would provide Kieran Tierney with a proper stage to play on. And Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium isn’t one of them.
“The riches of England’s Premier League mean the south coast minnows could double Tierney’s Celtic salary but Eddie Howe’s outfit would be the wrong move for him.
“Arguably the only SPFL player good enough to attract a top-six English club, Tierney should be aiming for the very top. When the time comes it’ll take a bit more than £20million to shift him.”
Stay at Celtic
Bournemouth have established themselves in the Premier League, and playing in the English top flight would see Tierney display his skills to some of the biggest clubs every week.
However, leaving Celtic for Bournemouth would be a step down for the 20-year-old Scotland international left-back, who would get much better offers from bigger clubs if he continues to improve for the Hoops.
