Former Arsenal forward Alan Smith claims that the Kieran Tierney can become the new Ashley Cole considering the impact that the former Celtic defender has made in the first few months at Arsenal.Tierney became the value purchase in the summer after making the switch to North London for just £ 25 million. This is a very low transfer fee compared with the insane money demanded by young English players in order to join a top team like Arsenal. Tierney was unable to feature in the first games for Arsenal, but he has made a remarkable impact since finding its feet.

Brazil international Willian has said that he is content with the proceedings at Chelsea and would prefer to extend his stay at the west London giants.

The England youth international has spent the past two seasons on loan with Vitesse and Derby County respectively and he has now been rewarded with a first-team spot ahead of the 2019/2020 season.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, Cole described Mount as a top player and stated that the midfielder will have a part to play for the Blues in the upcoming season, he said: “Mason Mount is a top player. He’s produced the goods on loan in Holland [with Vitesse] and in England [with Derby]. Every challenge he’s had he’s met. For me that’s a sign that a player is going to go places. Every time a question is asked of him, he performs. You’ve got to take your chance if you’re a young lad. It might be five or ten minutes, that’s the nature of the beast. “You get the feeling if Mason gets the nod he will produce.”
