# Landing £4.5m-rated Scotsman would be an unbelievable coup for Bournemouth this summer

**Bournemouth fans in the Transfer Tavern will be buzzing with the latest transfer news linking the Cherries with one of the most highly sought-after youngsters in the country.**

Transfer speculation has already begun, with [reports in the Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6170772/bournemouth-kieran-tierney-celtic-manchester-united-tottenham/) linking Bournemouth with a move for Celtic youngster – Kieran Tierney. The 20-year-old lifted the Scottish Premiership title at the weekend as Celtic crushed rivals Rangers 5-0 at the weekend and would be a seriously exciting addition at the Vitality.

Tierney has emerged as one of Scotland’s brightest prospects and has made 29 appearances for the Hoops, scoring three goals. His performances have [reportedly](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6170772/bournemouth-kieran-tierney-celtic-manchester-united-tottenham/) attracted the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham.

Now Bournemouth have [reportedly](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6170772/bournemouth-kieran-tierney-celtic-manchester-united-tottenham/) entered the race for his signature with a £20m move being readied by Eddie Howe who believes the offer of first-team football on the south coast could be key to landing his signature.

Valued at £4.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kieran-tierney/profil/spieler/300716), Tierney would be a key player at the Vitality Stadium but Bournemouth would be unlikely to keep him for long should his impressive performances continue. Nevertheless, the Cherries would be able to secure a huge transfer fee from one of the Premier League giants in the future.

The move makes complete sense for Howe’s men – they would gain a valuable first-team player and potentially gather a huge windfall in the future if he does decide to move on later in his career.
