Kieran Tierney has been warned he’ll be warming Newcastle’s bench if makes the move to the Magpies.
The Scotland star has been doing just that for Arsenal after falling behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in Mikel Arteta’s pecking order. A summer exit appears to be on the cards for Tierney, who left Celtic for the Gunners in a £25million deal four years ago.
Newcastle are keen to recruit the left back after finishing fourth in the English Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in two decades. Eddie Howe’s team are on an upwards trajectory and will be looking to get close to Arsenal next season. If Howe has his way, then Tierney will be helping him do that, should the Toon stump up the reported £35m the London club are after. However, former St James’s Park midfielder Dietmar Hamann reckons he’ll have a job getting into the side and can see him having to watch from the sidelines again.
