Jose Mourinho has to beat Chelsea in £17m full-back race

According to the latest reports, Manchester United are on red alert, as Chelsea are ready to hijack the Red Devil’s move for Celtic starlet Kieran Tierney, who has been linked with a departure from Scottish Premier League in the summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old full-back has impressed in his 38 appearances for the Hoops, with his stunning performances leading to a PFA Young Player of the Year nomination.

Alongside Chelsea and Man United, it is believed that Arsenal are also willing to sign Keiran Tierney, who has three caps for Scotland. But the reports from Daily Mail claim that champions elect Chelsea are now considering a summer swoop for the Celtic academy graduate.

The Manager of Scottish giants, Brendan Rodgers is reluctant to sell any of his most valuable players this summer and is said to have slapped a £17m price tag on Tierney’s head.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte is determined to sign a quality left-back when the window opens and is also believed to be looking at Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand, who Chelsea sold back in 2015.

It is believed that the Blues manager is also desperate to bring Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk at the Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window.
