Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea hero, Pat Nevin, has tipped Tierney Kirean to win football\u2019s most prestigious individual award, Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

Arsenal paid around \u00a325m in 2019 to land the Scotland International from Celtic and he has proven a popular figure with supporters.<\/p>\n

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of the way, Tierney is in line to become Arsenal captain next season.<\/p>\n

The player is now worth well more than the \u00a325m Arsenal paid for Tierney and Nevin recalled he advised his former club Chelsea to make a move for the Scot.<\/p>\n

\u201cKieran is already one of the best footballers on the planet,\u201d Nevin said, according to Metro.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely believe he can go on to win the Ballon d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n

\u2018Only one defender \u2013 Fabio Cannavarro, has ever won that prize but it\u2019s not impossible for KT to emulate him.\u201d<\/p>\n
