Manchester United and Tottenham have been warned that Kieran Tierney would cost more than 20 million by former Celtic striker John Hartson.

Tierney has been instrumental in Celtics last two title-winning campaigns and has been tipped to follow the likes of Victor Wanyama and Virgil van Dijk in becoming a leading Premier League player after leaving Celtic Park.

United and Tottenham have reportedly been Michal Kempny Jersey looking at Tierney as a solution to their left-back position, and the 20-year-old has also been linked with a 20m move to Bournemouth.

However, Hartson has laughed off that price tag and suggests that any offers for Tierney in that region would be quickly dismi sed by Celtic.

20m from Bournemouth? Give me a break. Im not having that. I wouldnt Dennis Maruk Jersey be entertaining that for a second, said Hartson in his .

First things first. Celtic dont want to sell and the boy doesnt want to go. Second of all, how high he goes is entirely up to him.

I wont be the first person or last to say this but Kieran is a player who has the potential to go all Jaromir Jagr Jersey the way to be the very top in the game and I mean the very top. But only if he makes that call himself Tom Wilson Jersey .

There will always be offers on the table if you are playing as well as he is. Thats good for him, it shows just how much he is progre sing and the fact that so many clubs are continually keeping tabs on him will tell you the esteem with which he is held.

Hartson believes that it is not beyond the realms of po sibility that Tierney stays with Celtic despite interest from the bigger clubs.

He added: I know how happy and how settled he is at Celtic. Who is to say that he doesnt buck the trend and decide to be a one-club man? Its no-one elses decision to make other than his.

Tierney's attributes have also been Nicklas Backstrom Jersey compared to a former England international by Hartson, who said:He reminds me very much of a young Stuart Pearce.

"He has everything; pace, athleticism, strength, he can cro s, he can score, he can defend. Physically he has really worked since he first broke into the Celtic team to work on his stamina and on his Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey strength, and he has got the rewards for that.
