Parlour warns Arsenal against Tierney sale

Arsenal hero Ray Parlour says they can't afford to lose Kieran Tierney.

Scotland left-back Tierney made just 11 appearances for Arsenal this season after suffering injuries following his £25million transfer deadline-day move from Celtic last summer.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a summer move to Leicester, where he would be reunited with his former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

"Well he's going to be playing Champions League football with Leicester next season if he did move but I'd be amazed if Arsenal did let him go," Parlour said on TalkSport.

"It would have to be a big fee that Leicester try and prise him away [with]. I can't see [£25m], I really can't - I think they bought him for about that same sort of money.

"I know he's had his injuries but I would be amazed.

"They've got [Sead] Kolasinac on that side as well but what I've seen of [Tierney] so far when he's played, he looks a very exciting player."
