Pep Guardiola and Manchester City see a Deja Vu in Kieran Tierney. Arsenal befor the start of the season bought the City left back Oleksander Zinchenko. This left City short in that area. They are now looking to sign Arsenal left back Kieran Tierney. They see a Deja Vu moment as they previous signed Gael Clichy from Arsenal as well. Gael Clichy was also a left back who City bought from Arsenal a decade ago. He went on to win many trophies there at Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola is keen to get the deal done for the Deja Vu left back
Football Transfers have reported that Pep Guardiola wanted to sign Kieran Tierney from Arsenal in the January transfer window. He has played very limited football for Arsenal. However, Guardiola remains keen on the former Celtic left back according to sources. They have also added that defending Premier League champions City will make a bid for him in the summer transfer window.
Tierney is not getting regular playing time at Arsenal at the moment. If he moves then he gets the chance to work with Guardiola and feature in a team that regularly compete for the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. That is too good to turn down for him.
Style of play of Tierney
Kieran Tierney is a versatile left-back and has offensive and defensive skills. He is a hardworking and selfless person who never gives up on challenges. This is something that City lacks in defense.
On the attacking side, Tierney likes to step up and bolster the attack by overlapping or stepping in with the winger to create opportunities for his teammates. Confident and precise, with excellent dribbling skills.
On the defensive side, Tierney is solid and reliable. He is a strong fighter who is not afraid to risk his body for important blocks or interceptions.
Overall, Tierney is a complete full-back who combines attacking and defensive qualities to great effect. His energy and work rate make him a valuable asset to any team he plays for. City needs his services to fix its defensive flaws.
