‘Tierney isn’t better than Van Dijk!’ - £20m enough for Arsenal to get Celtic star, says Nicholas

Kieran Tierney is not better than Virgil van Dijk, says Charlie Nicholas, who believes a figure of around £20 million ($25m) should be enough for Arsenal to lure the left-back away from Celtic.

Back in 2015, the Bhoys agreed to sell the Dutch centre-half to Southampton for just £12m ($15m).

Less than three years later, Van Dijk became the most expensive defender in history when making a £75m ($95m) switch to Liverpool.
