Everton eyeing Celtic fullback Kieran Tierney

Everton are eyeing Celtic fullback Kieran Tierney.

The Mirror says left-back Tierney, 21, has been identified by Everton as a potential long-term successor to Leighton Baines, 33.

And they are considering a move to make the impressive Scotland defender one of their big additions during new boss Marco Silva's first transfer window.

Tierney has attracted interest from Manchester United in recent times, while Tottenham are also believed to be keen as a replacement for Danny Rose.

He only signed a new six-year deal with Celtic back in October but Everton are ready to test their resolve with a bid for their prized asset.
