‘Tierney is a lot better than Monreal’ – Arsenal told Celtic defender can be ‘a bargain’

Former Scotland international Kevin Gallacher believes a highly-rated full-back being linked with the Gunners would not look out of place in England

Arsenal target Kieran Tierney is already “a lot better” than Nacho Monreal, says Kevin Gallacher, with the Celtic defender boasting the potential to be “a bargain” for the Gunners.

The Gunners are said to have identified the Scotland international left-back as a top target for the summer transfer window.

An opening bid of around £15 million ($19m) has received short shrift, with that offer branded an “embarrassment” and “pittance” for a player of Tierney’s undoubted ability.
