Newcastle told Kieran Tierney would be a 'great signing' despite 'frustrating' Arsenal spell

Kieran Tierney would be a 'great signing' for Newcastle United amid ongoing transfer rumours linking the Scotland international with a move to St James' Park. That is the view of Arsenal legend Ray Parlour, and the former midfielder believes the ex-Celtic star has been unlucky with injuries and the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Tierney made 36 appearances in all competitions last season as Mikel Arteta's side emerged as surprised title contenders. However, many of these outings came from the bench as the 26-year-old saw his game-time limited by Zinchenko, with the Arsenal boss preferring an inverted full-back on the left flank.

Newcastle have long been linked with Tierney, while a potential reunion with Unai Emery at Aston Villa could also be on the cards. Eddie Howe is said to be keen on bringing in another specialist left-back, with Chelsea's Marc Cucurella also named as a potential target.
