Kieran Tierney was predicted to reach the elite table of football while at Celtic way back in 2016 - and it seems to be ringing true.The left-back from Muirhouse is a key player for English Premier League giants Arsenal after a £25 million from Celtic to London in 2019.His form has been so inspiring that Spanish transfer links have emerged.
Reports abroad have suggested both Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in signing Tierney.If they had paid attention to Spanish outlet Marca six years ago though, both La Liga giants may have found a gem early.The outlet's 'wonder boy' list tipped 11 teenagers to go and become world stars and it's seemingly bearing fruit.
PSG's Kylian Mbappe is one of several star-studded names on the list.Tierney's inclusion is perhaps one of the bigger picks as he was only coming into his own in Brendan Rodgers' formidable Celtic side at that time.Gunners teammate Martin Odegaard is also one named on the 2016 list as the man from Muirhouse continues to go from strength to strength.Other names include Gianluigi Donnarumma, Cristian Manea, Reece Oxford, Joe Gomez, Renato Sanches, Youri Tielemans, Ruben Neves and Dominic Solanke.Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
