Arsenal Star To Leave Emirates After Talks With Arteta
EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a surprising turn of events, Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is reportedly poised to leave the Gunners during the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to sources cited by The Times, the Scottish defender’s decision came after a discussion with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, where it became evident that Tierney’s role within the team would be diminished.
EDITOR’S PICKS
Tierney’s performance and versatility have garnered interest from both Newcastle United and Aston Villa, two Premier League clubs keen on bolstering their defensive options. While Newcastle United is considered a strong contender for his signature, Aston Villa’s head coach has personally expressed his desire to bring Tierney to Villa Park.
The 25-year-old fullback made a high-profile move from Celtic to Arsenal in August 2019, commanding a transfer fee of €27 million. However, following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City last summer, Tierney has found himself slipping down the pecking order in Arteta’s preferred left-back choices.
With Tierney’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2026, Arsenal faces the challenge of negotiating a satisfactory transfer fee for the talented defender, who has showcased his abilities on numerous occasions. Despite being an integral part of the squad, Tierney has made 36 appearances across all competitions this season, starting only 15 matches.
Mikel Arteta
As the transfer window approaches, Tierney’s departure from Arsenal will undoubtedly raise questions regarding the club’s defensive strategies and potential replacements. Arsenal will need to make astute decisions to ensure a smooth transition and maintain defensive stability for the upcoming campaign.
