The very good form that Kieran Tierney has shown in recent matches with Arsenal, has caught the attention of Real Madrid, which may come very soon with an official offer for the defender. The player scored his first goal with the Scottish national team, in the 1-1 draw against Poland.
Coach Carlo Ancellotti has long been a "fan" of Tierney. While the Italian coach was in charge of Napoli, he tried to bring the defender to Italy. However, the Neapolitans lost the race for his card with Arsenal, and the Londoners brought Tierney to the Emirates, for the figure of 25 million pounds.
But it is known that Real Madrid has more resources available to bring Tierney to Spain, and this has revived Ancelotti interest. This has been confirmed by the agent of the Madrid club, Juni Calafat, who is closely monitoring the performance of the Scot. In addition to Tierney, Calafat has followed Bukayo Saka, one of Arsenal's most promising young talents.
As for the left-back, Arsenal are not expected to resist if Madrid come up with the right proposal. But Real executives know that if they offer a lower figure than they should, it could open the door for other teams to make an offer for the player. Reports suggest Barcelona are also interested in Tierney.
Former Scottish footballer Pat Nevin is confident in the skills of the Arsenal player. He has been a Tierney fan ever since the defender became active with Celtic. Nevin told the media:
"Kieran has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and I am confident he will have no problem adjusting there. "He is a very good player, who can join any club in the world and start playing."
