West Ham United must try to sign talented left-back Kieran Tierney from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly prepared to sell the 25-year-old Gunners defender for around £30 million (The Sun).

Now, with West Ham boss David Moyes in desperate need of a top-class left-back in the summer, Tierney would be the ideal signing for us.
The 35-capped Scotland international’s game-time at the Emirates has been severely limited since the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko.
So surely the Hammers will be able to prise him away from Arsenal and bring him to the London Stadium…
West Ham must try to sign Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney
Moyes must be prioritising the addition of a top-class left full-back in the summer transfer window.
Aaron Cresswell should be moved on at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old’s performance against Nottingham Forest on Saturday was truly awful, and it must have been a huge wake-up call for Moyes.
Meanwhile, Emerson Palmieri, who has actually played really well over the past few weeks, will be 29 before the start of the new season.
Sure, we have Ollie Scarles coming through the ranks but he is only 17, and we need someone ready for senior action now to really challenge Emerson.
In my opinion, Arsenal star Tierney could be the perfect option for us.
The 25-year-old ex-Celtic ace possesses blistering pace, is very strong in the tackle and is hard to get past. He is also very attacking and would be perfect for the wing-back role at the London Stadium.
The Arsenal star possesses an absolutely wicked delivery as well – the one thing that we really do miss when Cresswell doesn’t play.
Kieran Tierney is at a stage of his career now where he needs to be playing regularly, and he certainly won’t get that at Arsenal with Zinchenko at the club.
The Scottish defender would be an exceptional addition for West Ham in my opinion. However, there is one huge red flag for the Hammers – his terrible injury record.
Tierney has missed 48 games for the Gunners through injury since joining them in the summer of 2019 (Transfermarkt). That said, it could be argued that he’s already had all of his bad luck. And in my opinion, signing him for £30 million will be well worth the risk for West Ham.
