Everton have stepped up their pursuit of Celtic fullback Kieran Tierney this summer. According to recent reports, the Toffees are pushing to get a deal done for the Scottish defender during this summer transfer window. It is understood that Marco Silva’s side will inquire about the Hoops’ asking price for the Scottish talent this week amidst speculation linking the player with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Some sources are now claiming that the Everton boss has identified Tierney as a priority signing and has a budget of £25m to get the deal done. However, they are not the only ones looking to recruit the 21-year-old with Spurs, Wolves and Bournemouth all keeping tabs on his situation at Celtic Park.
Tierney had put in some solid displays at the back for the Bhoys during the course of last season which has not gone unnoticed by other clubs. The Scottish talent had made 55 appearances under Brendan Rodgers last term, scoring 4 goals while grabbing 11 assists across all competitions.
The youngster is exactly the kind of talent who can thrive under the expert guidance of Marco Silva at Goodison Park. He will be a great long-term replacement for Everton left-back Leighton Baines which is why the Blues of Merseyside should go all out to snap him up this summer.
