Kieran Tierney has been told he should jump at the chance of moving to Newcastle.
Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Frimpong has been a big fan of the ex-Celtic star and in an ideal world he would want the Scotland defender to stay at the Emirates - but he just can't see Tierney shifting Oleksandr Zinchenko out of Mikel Arteta's potential Premier League title-winning side.
And Firmpong believes switching would become a smash hit with the Geordie faithful if he was able to make a summer switch to the north-east because they will love his passionate style.
Frimpong told BettingSites : "Kieran Tierney has been outstanding since signing for Arsenal in 2019, he's one of the players I do love because he always fights for Arsenal and the badge.
"Oleksandr Zinchenko has come in and performed really well, with the way Arsenal play at the moment, Zinchenko suits the team more. Tierney is no doubt the better defender, but you need to do more than just defend to play in this Arsenal team. You need to be able to pass, dribble, move forward and contribute to goals, even from fullback. z
"I can't see Mikel Arteta taking Zinchenko out of the team anytime soon, which might mean Tierney will move.
"I don't think Arsenal would regret Tierney leaving for a club like Newcastle. Newcastle would be a great destination for Tierney because they are pushing up the league, fighting for top four and are a team on the up, just like Arsenal.
"There might not be too much difference in the quality of the teams, just location. Playing at St James' Park in front of crazy and passionate fans, I'm sure he would love the move."
