Liverpool considering swoop for Tierney
Liverpool are considering a summer raid for Kieran Tierney, according to reports.
Tierney is still in his first full season of professional football having made only two appearances for Celtic before this year.
But he has settled quickly into the Hoops first team and has now made 27 appearances in all competitions since his senior debut in April 2015.
And now Football Insider are claiming Tierney has been added to a shortlist of youngsters Jurgen Klopp is considering adding to his squad this summer and the German is reportedly willing to pay as much as £10million to get his man.
The 18-year-old made his Scotland debut during the most recent international break, handed the starting berth at left-back in the 1-0 win over Denmark by boss Gordon Strachan.
And [Klopp’s] shortlist of young full-backs is also said to include Leicester’s Ben Chilwell, Lorient’s Raphael Guerreiro and Cologne’s Jonas Hector.
But Celtic boss Ronny Deila believes Tierney deserves his place in such esteemed company.
“KT can go all the way. He can play at the highest level if he continues to develop,” Deila said.
“He needs to improve all the time and to do that he has to play.
“He has been playing here now consistently for seven months.
“He is in a very good situation now, playing for his national team and in Europe for a big club. What can be better?”
