ALAN SHEARER SLAMS ‘STUPID’ CHELSEA TRANSFER POLICY AFTER GRAHAM POTTER SACKING
Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole believes Manchester City should consider a move to Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney if they plan to sign a new left-back this summer.
Nathan Ake, despite spending most of his career at centre-back, has established himself as City's number one left-back this season, especially due to Joao Cancelo's surprise move to Bayern Munich in January. Sergio Gomez is seen as the club's alternative in the position but many supporters believe they need to strengthen the area this summer.
The Blues, according to other reports, have expressed an interest in Chelsea and England player Ben Chilwell, but it remains to be seen what happens with this ongoing rumor. If not, former Red Devils ace Cole believes Arsenal's Tierney ace will be an alternative for Pep Guardiola to overturn the rule.
Cole, speaking with King Casino Bonus, said:
"I like Kieran Tierney, he has some injury problems but he's talented. If Arsenal are willing to sell him, he won't have to struggle with options." "If Manchester City is for him, I can see it in action, but he will also compete with Ben Chilwell, who is also linked with City. Tierney will want to play, and if he doesn't continue the competition. fighting, he will be looking to go elsewhere this summer."
Tierney has found hard-to-find opportunities at the Emirates Stadium this season, with the majority of his appearances coming off the bench. Former Man City striker Oleksandr Zinchenko, who joined Arsenal last summer, has opted for his own left-back position, meaning Tierney has started just four times in the Premier League this season.
"If you look at Tierney's situation before, you have to wonder what did he actually do wrong? He never let down Arsenal or Mikel Arteta, of course he had a few injuries but He always plays well." "He's a kid with a great attitude. If he sees an opportunity to get more game time, I'm sure he'll bow his head and work for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. He chose to leave." and play more."
