Real Madrid launching offer for Arsenal left-back Tierney after scout stunned in Saka pursuit

Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is being targeted by Real Madrid, according to reports.

The Scotsman has been in terrific form this season as Arsenal push to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Real boss Carlo Ancelotti has been keeping a close on Tierney's progress, and The Sunday Postsays Los Blancos are prepared to pay £50m for his signature.

Ancelotti recently sent Real's chief scout, Juni Calafat, to assess Gunners youngster Bukayo Saka.

But in the process, Calafat was amazed by Tierney's talent and relayed his excitement to Ancelotti.

The 24-year-old has also been scouted by Barcelona this season.

Mikel Arteta would be loathe to lose the Scotland international as the Gunners look to consolidate their place in the Premier League.
