LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Newcastle United are reportedly set to emerge as transfer suitors for Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney in the summer.
Newcastle are keen to have the player and are reportedly ready to offer in excess of £30 million
Tierney has fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium this season, with Oleksandr Zinchenko serving as the Gunners’ first-choice left-back following his summer move from Manchester City.
It is now unclear whether Tierney remains in Arteta’s long-term plans, but regardless, Newcastle are poised to capitalize on the uncertainty surrounding his future.
According to The Telegraph, the Magpies are now preparing to launch a transfer bid in excess of £30 million to sign the Scottish international when the summer transfer window opens.
Newcastle are in need of a quality option in the left-back position and Eddie Howe, who is known to be a long-time admirer of Tierney, wants to sign the 25-year-old if Arsenal give him the green light to leave.
Tierney has played only 469 minutes for Arsenal in the Premier League so far this season since he joined 2019.
