Newcastle United have been told the arrival of Kieran Tierney would bring the same attacking threat down the left, akin to that of Kieran Trippier on the opposite flank. Eddie Howe's side are understood to be in the market for a left-back this summer, given Matt Targett's injury struggles and Dan Burn playing out of position.
It's a position the Blyth native has now made his own, but with Targett returning from injury, he'll be keen to prove a point to the Magpies head coach. Tierney is one of a number of players linked with a move to St. James' Park, having struggled for game time at Premier League leaders Arsenal.
The Scottish left-back is reportedly keen on a move to Tyneside, given how well they've performed this season. That move could come to fruition this summer if the 25-year-old doesn't see an improvement in game time.
