NAPOLI will not sign Kieran Tierney this summer.

The Italian giants have ruled out a move for the Hoops star because they already have two left backs.

SunSport had exclusively revealed that the Serie A club were interested in Tierney amid Arsenal's transfer struggle to land the Scot.

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on Tierney but admitted his side are happy with their defensive options.

Speaking after Napoli's 3-0 win over Liverpool at Murrayfield he said: "Am I aware of Kieran Tierney?

"I know him and he is a really good player. He is a really good young left back but he is a Celtic player.

"We are looking for a lot of players for this coming season but he is a Celtic player and we have two good left backs.

"But honestly I can say he is a really good player.”

Arsenal are still planning a swoop for the defender despite having their first two bids knocked back.

The Hoops kicked out a record-breaking £25m bid after they decided against a deal made up of add-on fees.

But the Gunners are still expected to come back in with a third bid as Unai Emery looks to land his man.
