Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show pundit, Barry Ferguson, told of his admiration for ex Celtic defender Kieran Tierney as the young Scot continues to shin on international duty.
The Scottish national side have huffed and puffed their way to two points from six against Austria and Israel but Tierney has been the shining light in what seems to be a poor start to the World Cup Qualifying campaign.
Ferguson has urged Arsenal to tie down their man or risk losing him to one of the two big Manchester clubs, if not one of the top clubs in Europe, “If I’m Arsenal I’m getting him and tying him down. Because if I’m a Manchester City or something, I’m looking at a player like Kieran Tierney – that’s how good I think he is. I’ll be honest with you, I just love everything about Kieran Tierney.
“I think he’s gone up a couple of levels since he’s made the move. I always thought he was a very good player at Celtic, there was no doubt that he was going to move to the Premier League, but he’s gone down to Arsenal and gone up a couple of levels.
Will Celtic regret letting Scott Brown go?YES
NO

“As I mentioned before, Arsenal will need to think about getting him tied down on a new contract or the top clubs in England – now, Arsenal are a top club there’s no doubt about it but I’m talking Man City, Man United, or even the top clubs in Europe – if he continues to play like that they’ll be looking at him, believe me when I say that.”
The Hoops have reportedly sealed a “bumper” sell on clause should Tierney be courted away from The Emirates which is thought to be around the 15% mark. With the obvious assumption that the Scottish international will go for more than his original £25m, Celtic are looking at minimum a cool £3.75m pay out.
