Former Aston Villa player, Alan Hutton, enthusiastically voices his desire for Tierney to don the claret and blue of Villa.

• Alan Hutton believes Tierney would be a valuable asset to Aston Villa’s squad, citing his strong defensive skills and attacking acumen.
• Despite being highly admired by Villa’s management, Tierney’s fitness and recurring injuries could pose a challenge.
• With Tierney’s decision about his future looming, Aston Villa is set to compete with Newcastle United for his signature.

Rumours are aplenty about Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney potentially moving to Aston Villa, and former Villa defender Alan Hutton has publicly expressed his eagerness for such a transfer.

Speaking to Football Insider, Hutton confessed, “I would love to see him there.”

Alan Hutton is confident that Tierney would be an excellent addition to the Villa squad, bolstering the team’s defensive options.

He stated, “Tierney probably gives you the best of both. I think he is very sound defensively, he can move in one if you want but attacking he is highly thought of as well.”

Tierney’s time at Arsenal has seen him fall down the pecking order due to a series of injuries and the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Man City.

These challenges could lead to the left-back considering a move away from the Emirates.

Despite Tierney’s injury issues, which Hutton admits have been a “big problem” since his move to Arsenal, the Scot remains a coveted player in the Premier League.

Villa faces competition from Newcastle United, who are also reportedly keen to sign Tierney.

As we move closer to the summer transfer window, it remains to be seen where Tierney’s future lies. However, if Hutton’s wishes come to fruition, we may well see Tierney stepping onto the pitch at Villa Park next season.
