Tottenham Hotspur are keeping eye close eye on Celtic star Kieran Tierney.

According to reports from The Mirror (transfer live blog: 05:33), Tottenham Hotspur are keeping close eye on Celtic’s highly rated young left-back, Kieran Tierney.

The 20-year-old has established himself as one of the best left-backs in Scotland, and is a key player for Brendan Rodgers.

The report claims that Spurs are “preparing for life” after Danny Rose, and are “spying” on the Celtic defender.

The north Londoners sent one of their top scouts recently to keep an eye on Tierney in Celtic’s Champions League clash against Astana.

The Bhoys won the match 5-0 where Tierney produced a solid performance.

Rose recently made a public outburst on the club’s transfer policy, and although he apologised for his comments, his future still remains up in the air.

The Mirror adds that Spurs’ interest in Tierney suggests that the London club “will listen to late offers for the England international”.

The young left-back has been a revelation under Rodgers, and the former Liverpool manager would hardly entertain a bid for his star player.

Tierney has said time and again that he is happy at Celtic, but he could be tempted by the prospect of playing for a top Premier League side.

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s first Premier League home game at Wembley ends in defeat, as they were beaten 2-1 by Champions Chelsea on Sunday.
