What’s the word?
Tierney has been making huge waves in Scotland, quickly becoming one of the most promising full-backs in Britain. His performances for the Hoops have been hugely impressive and, therefore, it’s no surprise to see some top clubs throwing their names in the hat to sign him.
The Scottish Sun is claiming that Leicester and Arsenal are both admirers of the 21-year-old but they face competition from two Italian sides.
The report claims that the Scot is being lined up in a £20m swoop by Napoli whilst Inter Milan are another potential suitor.
However, Tierney is set to undergo a major double hernia operation at the end of the season which could be bad news for anyone wanting to sign him.
Resigned to seeing Chilwell leave?
Given Leicester already possess an excellent young left-back in Ben Chilwell, the Foxes’ interest in Tierney may seem somewhat questionable.
They won’t both fit into the same squad so it would be extremely likely that the 22-year-old would depart the King Power should Brendan Rodgers be plotting a reunion with Tierney.
Back in March, The Telegraph claimed that Manchester City were interested in Chilwell but would have to pay a world record fee for a full-back.
Should he leave then Tierney’s arrival would certainly soften the blow. But, the fact he doesn’t possess a high amount of experience at the top level and has problems with injury means he wouldn’t be the most ideal replacement.
As a result, letting Chilwell go could be disastrous. He’s become a real fan favourite at the club but, by holding an interest in Tierney, the Midlands side are clearly anticipating bids for one of their prized possessions.
Arguably, this is sending out the completely wrong message. It almost feels as though they’re resigned to losing one of their star men, rather than trying to hold onto him.
Since Claude Puel departed the air has felt far more positive at Leicester. Seeing Chilwell leave could change all that.
