Chris Sutton believes that Kieran Tierney is already among the top four left-back’s in the UK.
The young Celtic star has bounced back rapidly from the second serious injury of his career and fitted straight back into Brendan Rodgers side.
Yesterday he was back to his very best, defending with vigour and having a major part to play in the second and third goals as Celtic crushed Hearts 4-0.
Tierney is only in his second season as a first team player but is already one of the key elements in the Celtic side where his link up play with Scott Sinclair is almost telepathic.
.@btsportfootball Well done record breakers! Outstanding achievement???? Tierney is sensational! One of the best left backs in Britain ??????

Rose, Alonso, Tierney, Monreal, Top 4! https://t.co/AdvNGVtlcB

Earlier in the transfer window there was talk of a £10m offer from Manchester United but it’s not outrageous to say that the left-back is in a similar situation as Moussa Dembele.
Any regular English Premier League left-back would cost £15m, a promising teenager with Champions League and international experience would cost double that fee with Tierney’s ambitions all currently centred on Celtic.
