Kieran Tierney transfer shock as Arsenal's 'money problems' could lead to Brendan Rodgers reunion

Brendan Rodgers would consider bringing Kieran Tierney to Leicester City if Ben Chilwell is sold this summer - according to a report.

The former Celtic left-back joined Arsenal last summer for a £25million fee, the highest ever paid for a Scottish player.

Hip and shoulder injuries limited his involvement though, with the 22-year-old making just four Premier League starts.

With Chelsea thought to be keen on signing Ben Chilwell this summer, potentially in a deal upwards of £85million Duncan Castles believes Rodgers may look to reunite with Tierney at the King Power Stadium.

Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast, Castles said: "Tierney has struggled through injury, and with the managerial changes at Arsenal as well.

"He's made just 11 appearances for them so far, just five in the Premier League.

"So when you're looking at a player who has struggled in that first season like that, was bought for a substantial fee, he's at a club that has money problems.

"They do need to make changes to their squad and they need to find revenue to do that.

"So in normal circumstances you would say there's no chance of getting a player in from Arsenal who was bought for a substantial fee and was part of the most recent rebuild.

"But perhaps in these circumstances a deal would be viable for Leicester."
