Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in the market for a new left-back.
Tottenham seem like they are going to be incredibly busy this summer.
Lyon ace Tanguy Ndombele seems to be inching ever closer to joining Spurs (Sky Sports), whilst they continue to chase Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso (Sky Sports).
Another one of Tottenham’s key summer targets is Fulham’s £35 million-rated Ryan Sessegnon, according to the Daily Mail.
Whilst the 19-year-old is a real talent, might Spurs be better off targeting Celtic’s Kieran Tierney instead?
The Scotland international could be available for £25 million this summer, according to the Sun – that’s £10 million cheaper than Sessegnon, and it could be argued that the Celtic ace is actually a better player than the Englishman.
At 22, Tierney is more experienced than Sessegnon, and he is undoubtedly a better defender than the Fulham starlet.
The Celtic ace is also a real threat in the final third, and he seems to be tailor made for the way in which Tottenham play.
The north London outfit need to spend big this summer, if they are to challenge for the Premier League title next season, so saving around £10 million by signing Tierney instead of Sessegnon might just appeal to Daniel Levy.
The Celtic star has proven over the past two years that he has the potential to become a truly elite player, and Tottenham would be the ideal club for him to continue his progress.
