Pat Nevin slams Chelsea over Arsenal star
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Pat Nevin, a former Chelsea star, has criticised his former club for disregarding recommendations to buy Kieran Tierney, now an Arsenal left-back, from Celtic in 2019.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In 2019, Arsenal paid roughly £25 million to Celtic for the Scotland international, who has proven to be a fan favorite.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tierney is set to take over as Arsenal captain next season, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tierney is now worth far more than the £25 million Arsenal spent for him, and Nevin revealed that he recommended his former club, Chelsea to sign him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Tierney, according to Nevin, would fit right in at Real Madrid and Pep Guardiola&#8217;s Manchester City.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;I tried four years ago to get Chelsea to purchase Tierney, but they didn&#8217;t listen, and they ended up getting Ben Chilwell from Leicester City for twice as much as Kieran would have cost them,&#8221; he stated.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“If Kieran did join Real Madrid then, I’m convinced he would have no problem fitting in there — he wouldn’t need time to settle or adjust.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Personally, I think Manchester City would be the perfect club for him,” Nevin said according to Metro.</span></p>
