Kieran Tierney Newcastle transfer perfect fit as pundit claims Celtic hero 'better' than Eddie Howe options

Kieran Tierney would be a perfect fit for a move to Newcastle United because he is better than the options Eddie Howe has.

That is the view of former Rangers defender Alan Hutton who suggests that the Celtic hero would slot right in to the high-flying Toon side. Saudi-backed Newcastle are disrupting the natural order of the English Premier League top six and former Hoops manager target Howe is reportedly 'keen' on the out-of-favour Arsenal man with some reports claiming the Scotland cap is considering his options.

Tierney has made over 100 appearances for the Gunners but only four this campaign due to the emergence of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. The 25-year-old left Celtic in a big-money move in 2019 and for the first time finds himself without much hope of consistent game. Hutton believes this is his chance to get game time as he still is an 'outstanding' player.
