# Newcastle: Kieran Tierney ‘could be tempted’ to join

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) target [Kieran Tierney](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/kieran-tierney/) ‘could be tempted’ to move to St. James’ Park this summer, according to journalist [Simon Collings](https://twitter.com/sr_collings).**

### The Lowdown: Arsenal open to offers

The Magpies are [reportedly](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21581512/arsenal-kieran-tierney-transfer-boost-newcastle/) heading into the market for a new left-back and [Eddie Howe](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/eddie-howe/) has [identified](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21557061/kieran-tierney-arsenal-newcastle-transfer/) the 25-year-old as the perfect candidate.

Mikel Arteta’s defender is believed to be [growing frustrated](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21557061/kieran-tierney-arsenal-newcastle-transfer/) at his lack of game time having lost his place in the team to Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is on a great run of form in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

The St. James’ Park outfit were first [linked](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-newcastle-united-closely-monitoring-arsenal-star-kieran-tierney-as-price-tag-revealed/) with a move for the Gunners star in February and have since been handed a boost after learning that the N7 giants are [open](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-newcastle-united-handed-boost-in-bid-to-sign-arsenal-star-kieran-tierney/) to offers.

### The Latest: Tierney’s temptation?

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/sr_collings/status/1633056472056619011?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA), Collings hinted that Tierney may consider joining Newcastle if his situation at Arsenal doesn’t get better between now and the end of the season. He wrote:

“Kieran Tierney could be tempted by Newcastle move if minutes don’t improve. Arsenal and Tierney rejected interest from Leicester in January. Neither club nor player decided about summer yet.”

### The Verdict: Potential advantage?

Tierney [shares](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/profil/spieler/300716) the same agent as Nick Pope, Javier Manquillo [and](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/berateruebersicht/verein/762) Elliot Anderson, so this could give Newcastle a potential advantage when trying to get a deal over the line.

The [left-footed](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/profil/spieler/300716) ace has posted [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/300716) senior goal contributions during his time at the Emirates Stadium and loves to attack down the flank, ranking in the [94th](https://fbref.com/en/players/fce2302c/Kieran-Tierney) percentile for most progressive passes by top league full-backs.

The Scotland international is also a versatile option to have in the building with his [ability](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/300716) to play at centre-back and in the midfield alongside his natural position.

Tierney has been [dubbed](https://twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1371150381259096065?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA) an ‘absolute baller’ by talent scout [Jacek Kulig](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout) and he would be an excellent signing for Howe should a move come to fruition in the months ahead.
