As Everton’s move for Celtic full-back Kieran Tierney edges closer, information has emerged that details the figures of the deal offered to the player.
The 21-year old Scotland international has often been considered one of the brightest young talents in Europe, having won Scotland Young Player of the Year for the previous three consecutive seasons.
While Manchester United and Tottenham have been heavily linked in the past, Everton emerged this week as surprise contenders for his signature, with a £25million transfer fee touted.
Now the Daily Record have provided an update, with Premier League transfer consultant Ian McGarry speaking up during the site’s Transfer Window Podcast earlier today.
According to McGarry, Tierney and his agent have already agreed a deal in principle with the Merseyside club, despite a transfer fee not yet having been established.
Tierney will put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the Toffees, and will be on an initial wage of around £85,000-a-week, which would increase yearly to £140,000-a-week by the fifth year,
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has also already commented about how despite wanting to keep Tierney at Parkhead, he may be forced to let him go if a big offer from a big club comes in.
