Real Madrid now ‘closely watching Kieran Tierney’ after tracking Arsenal team-mate

dailystar.co.uk:

Real Madrid are now keeping close tabs on Scotland international Kieran Tierney, having initially started scouting Arsenal due to their interest in Bukayo Saka.Tierney has made 19 appearances for the Gunners so far this season, not only impressing with how strong he is defensively but with his attacking prowess and ability to create chances from out wide.Since making the move to Arsenal from Scottish giants Celtic, the 24-year-old has also shown his versatility in being able to play as a left back as well as a centre-back – and his desire to bomb forward suggests that the left wing-back role would certainly suit as well.According to 90min, La Liga side Madrid are fond admirers of Tierney and are keeping tabs on him as the season draws to a close.They go on to state that Real’s chief has already been and watched Tierney for himself and ‘liked what he saw’, leading to the club to seriously consider a move for the defender.Initially, it is believed that Los Blancos had been intending to scout the Gunners to monitor the progress of England international Saka, but Tierney continued to catch the eye.The left-back has established himself as a fan favourite at the Emirates and former Scotland legend Ally McCoist believes his fellow countryman has all the makings of a future Arsenal captain.Would Kieran Tierney be a success at Real Madrid?

Let us know in the comments section."I saw it at Celtic and how the lad developed there," McCoist told The Sun. "Even then, I knew he would be a leader.

Terrific.“The obvious comparison is to someone like Liverpool’s Andy Robertson. The two of them are similar in their love and respect for the game, their desire to get to the top.“I bet those two get up every morning and pinch themselves.
