Former Newcastle midfielder Didi Hamann has questioned their move for Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney.

Hamann rates Dan Burn the superior option at left-back for the Magpies.

Hamann believes the Scotland star would struggle to oust Dan Burn as the starting left

“Dan Burn has played very well at left-back", the German told Casinos En Ligne.

“If Kieran Tierney was to go to Newcastle United because he's a part-time player at Arsenal, would it be any different at Newcastle?

“The defence and back four have been sensational this season. I can understand why Eddie Howe would want him because he's a very good player to have in your squad, but it remains to be seen if he's happy to stay as second choice, behind Burn.

“Burn is doing a fantastic job at left-back, especially for someone of his height. You have to have him in the team because he guarantees goals and defending in set pieces, it would be mighty tough for Tierney to get in the team."
