Arsenal star Kieran Tierney praised by Celtic legend Chris Sutton and Piers Morgan

Scotland international Kieran Tierney continues to earn plaudits south of the border as his Arsenal career goes from strength to strength.

The former Celtic left-back provided a superb assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second goal as Arsenal beat Man City 2-0 at Wembley to reach the FA Cup Final.

Tierney, who was named Arsenal's Player of the Month for June, has been receiving rave reviews for his excellent performances since English football resumed last month.

That was the case again on Saturday night, with the likes of former Celtic star Chris Sutton and outspoken Gunners fan Piers Morgan both lavishing him with praise.

Sutton tweeted: "Delighted for Kieran Tierney. He arrived at Arsenal after carrying an injury for months and always needed time.

"The more games he plays the better he looks. If any player deserves anything from football for pure attitude, commitment and desire it’s him.."

These Arsenal fans shared Sutton and Morgan's enthusiasm.

"Kieran Tierney hasn't even removed Mo Salah from his washing machine and now he'll be forced to add Kevin De Bruyne in there as well" - @WelBeast

"Did anyone actually pass the Kieran Tierney test in the Premier League? Since the restart he faced Salah, Adama and Mahrez (x2) and pocketed them all" - @VipArsenal

"KIERAN TIERNEY WOWWWWWWWWWW WHAT A PASS ABSOLUTELY TOP TOP QUALITY" - @ltarsenal

"We copped Kieran Tierney for £25m you know. The Celtic board must’ve been skunked out of their brains when accepting that offer" - @P1AFC

"Future club captain" - @landon_whitley

"How did Arsenal buy this guy for £25m without any competition for his signature?" - @K_Sturna

"The £24.3m that we spent on Kieran Tierney is going to look like pennies in the years to come. Left back. Wing back. Centre back. In a three. In a four. He can do it all" - @PatrickTimmons1
