Newcastle United are yet to commence talks with Kieran Tierney despite increasing talk he is high on Eddie Howe's wanted list.
Howe batted away any hints on names at his Press conference on Friday, but insisted that some of the players on his wish-list fit into the marquee bracket. Tierney would be one of them but sources at the Arsenal end have made it clear that any discussions on a move to St James' Park are yet to take place.
Tierney was scouted extensively by Newcastle before the takeover and even back then was interested by the prospect of a move from Celtic to Newcastle before Arsenal swooped for £25million. After falling out of favour with the Gunners, Tierney would now command a fee of £30million and would bolster Newcastle's left-hand side significantly.
