Aston Villa are thought to be interested in signing Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney this summer, according to Football Insider.

The Lowdown: Lack of game time

Tierney appears to have dropped down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta this season following Oleksandr Zinchenko’s arrival in the summer.

The Scot, who shares the same agent as Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa, has played just 468 minutes of Premier League action and has started only four top-flight games.

He has featured more in the Europa League, but it looks as if Villa are interested in his services despite signing left-back Alex Moreno in January.

The Latest: Villa update

Football Insider shared a story in the last 24 hours regarding Tierney, revealing that Villa are interested in his services.

Arsenal could green-light a summer sale and value the player at £30m, with the report adding that Villa could be willing to sell Lucas Digne to make room for the Scot.

The Verdict: Good move?

Unai Emery is preparing for a busy summer window ahead of his first full season in charge, and should Digne move on, a swoop for Tierney could be a wise move.

Labelled as a ‘warrior’ by Ashley Cole, Tierney would bring a winning mentality to the Midlands after enjoying plenty of success with Celtic and even a potential Premier League winners medal with the Gunners.

He could be about to enter his prime at the age of 25 and has 81 games of Premier League experience. Not only that, but Tierney can also turn out as a centre-back or further forward on the left-hand side, so would be a versatile option for Emery, but it looks as if Villa would need to make him one of their most expensive signings of all time with a £30m valuation.
