Kieran Tierney has been told it is time to leave Arsenal as he is 'too good' to be a squad player.
The former Celtic star made the move to the Gunners back in 2019 for a big £25million fee and has been a regular in the Scotland set-up with 39 caps to his name to date. His lack of game time this season under Mikel Arteta hasn't hampered his international career but former Rangers and Parkhed star Kenny Miller reckons there is even MORE in him to show if he had been playing week in, week out at club level.
The likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa have both been named as interested parties while a sensational return north of the border under Brendan Rodgers has also been floated this summer but one thing Miller is certain of is that should he be made available for transfer then he will have plenty of interested parties in his services.
He reckons a move to St James' Park would be a 'really big step' with Eddie Howe believed to be a big fan while his side are also playing at the highest level this season ahead with Champions League football heading to the Toon.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound, Miller said: "I think he probably needs to now.
"When he plays, he's a world class left-back. To play regular football, he probably needs to step away from Arsenal.
"There will be lots and lots of teams that will take it. He'll have loads of potential suitors. If he moves, he'll have a number of options. If he's not going to be getting a game, he's too good to sitting as part of a squad."
On his lack of game-time, he added: "It doesn't seem to affect his performances at an international level.
"When you're playing week in, week out, there's maybe just a different edge to your game. I think there's potentially more in him from what we've seen.
"He's one of our best players. A move to Newcastle with everything that's going on at that place at the moment would be a really big step.
"Champions League football as well, so he's not going to be stepping away from that level."
