Arsenal have already found ideal replacement for Kieran Tierney as Arsenal set to sign £35m Star to replace Him – Here we Go
Arsenal have “identified” Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo as a potential replacement for Kieran Tierney this summer.
The former Celtic left-back could be on the way out of the Emirates as his game time continues to diminish under manager Mikel Arteta. KT was already dislodged from his position by Oleksandr Zinchenko but his minutes have dried up further and he was not even part of Arteta’s matchday squad for the Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
That sparked more transfer speculation with Real Sociedad, Aston Villa and Newcastle all named as suitors for the Scotland cap. The Hoops have even been linked with a stunning loan swoop for their hero but it’s believed the Gunners would rather sort a permanent move for the player.
And it has now been reported by the Daily Mail that, should they manage to secure a fee for his services, Portuguese ace Cancelo is a top option to come into the group and take KT’s place.
Celts would bank 15 percent of Tierney’s sell-on value and he is reportedly worth around £25million compared to the previous £35million asking price.
