Stan Collymore has said that Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United should sign Kieran Tierney from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker has written in CaughtOffSide that Tierney would flourish under Howe at Newcastle.

The pundit believes that the Scotland international left-back has stagnated at Arsenal.

Tierney has actually been linked with a move to Newcastle from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The Athletic reported in March that the Magpies want to sign Tierney in the summer transfer window and consider him as an ideal signing.

Kieran Tierney urged to join Newcastle from Arsenal

Collymore wrote: “I really like Kieran Tierney. When he first moved from Celtic to Arsenal there were a lot of comparisons made between him and Liverpool’s Andy Robertson.

“Robertson obviously kicked on and grown to become a genuinely world-class left-back and Tierney has stagnated a bit due to injury and fitness problems. However, I still think at the age of 25 and with Howe’s exceptional individual coaching methods that there is still plenty of time for the Scotsman to enjoy the same kind of success Liverpool’s number 26 has.

“If Newcastle have the money available to look at signing quality players in the summer then there is absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t go out and get Tierney. He’d be a really good player for them – he would offer some very good balance, he loves to get forward but he is also solid defensively.”

HITC Verdict: Tierney should consider summer transfer

In our view, Kieran Tierney should seriously consider leaving Arsenal for Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.

The former Celtic star is not the first-choice left-back at Arsenal at the moment, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Newcastle are a club on the up and could play in the UEFA Champions League next season.

The Magpies have a grand project, and Tierney would find himself playing for a very ambitious club if he was to move to St. James’ Park in the summer transfer window.
