Tottenham are reportedly eyeing Kieran Tierney.
Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move to sign Kieran Tierney this summer, The Guardian report.
It’s not the first time this rumour has raised it’s head. But on this occasion, it makes more sense than ever before.
Let’s take Tottenham’s situation first.
Last summer Spurs were happy with their left-back options after a tremendous season from Ben Davies, while Danny Rose returned from injury to win a place back in England’s World Cup squad.
Neither of the two have really kicked on this season, with Davies going backwards and Rose inconsistent.
As far as Celtic are concerned, they have become accustomed to life without Tierney this campaign due to his injury problems.
If they can get a huge fee, around the speculated £25 million, it would be good business for the Scottish side.
It might also be the right time to cut him loose, with the team in transition due to Brendan Rodgers’ departure.
Celtic’s new boss could put the funds to good use, buying a left-back, and a whole new defence to go with it.
Even despite Tierney’s fitness issues this season, Spurs need fresh talent at left-back and the 21-year-old is exactly that.
Working under Mauricio Pochettino could take him to a new level.
