Kieran Tierney tipped to agree £30m Newcastle move after what Agbonlahor has seen - 'get it done'
Gabby Agbonlahor has claimed Kieran Tierney would be a "good fit" at Newcastle as he weighs up his Arsenal future.
The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, insisted the 25-year-old will never be good enough to be first-choice for a title-challenging side.
Sources told this site last month (19 February) that Newcastle are closely monitoring Arsenal ace Tierney as they search for a new left-back this summer.
The former Celtic star is valued around the £30million mark despite struggling for game time at the Emirates Stadium this season.
Football Insider has also revealed (18 February) Newcastle interest in Fulham’s Antonee Robinson - with Man City also keen on the Fulham star.
Tierney has made just four Premier League starts this term - but has started in all of their domestic cup and European outings.
Agbonlahor told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “I think he would be a good fit at Newcastle.
“It really hasn’t worked for him at Arsenal.
“He’s probably really considering where he stands right now. He’s not getting a look in when it comes to league games.
“Arsenal are going in a completely different direction to him. He needs to sign for a club where he’s number one.
“That’s not going to happen at Arsenal – ever.”
“Zinchenko is the number one, and we’ve even seen Tomiyasu there.
“I just don’t think he’s at the level that Arsenal need. But as a sixth-place player – I think he’d be a top signing. Get it done, Eddie Howe.”
