Arsenal invincible Lauren has heaped praise on Kieran Tierney - but refused to compare him to Liverpool's Andy Robertson,
The retired Cameroonian defender is a fan of KT and believes he can be a top player in a back three or four for Mikel Arteta. He has watched with delight at the Scotland cap as he has came on leaps and bounds at the Emirates.
Across the country at Liverpool, Robbo has also impressed and won the Premier League trophy and the Champions League. But while Lauren hails Tierney, he stopped short of comparing the two players and instead focused only on what Tierney can provide for his former employers down the line.
Speaking to GentingBet.com, Lauren said: "Tierney is a very useful player. He can play in a Back Three as we saw at Celtic and last season for Arsenal but he can also play as a left back as well, overlapping, shooting with both feet and getting crosses into the box.
"I don’t like to compare him with Andy Robertson, he just needs to keep playing the way he is and that will be good news for Arsenal."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
