Newcastle are confident that they are in pole position to land Kieran Tierney in a £30million deal at the end of the season, with sources close to the Scotland defender adamant that a summer exit from Arsenal is looking increasingly likely.
Tierney, 25, is a firm fan favourite at the Emirates and had established himself as the club's first-choice left-back before the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has leapfrogged him in the pecking order this term.
There has already been plenty of speculation that Mikel Arteta could be persuaded to allow Tierney to move on in the summer. And if the Spaniard does elect to cash in on the former Celtic man, it's unlikely the left-back will be short of suitors.
