Mikel Arteta speaks out on £30M man possibly completing Arsenal transfer deal

Tierney was signed by the Gunners just a few seasons ago after establishing himself over in the Scottish Leagues, and he quickly established himself as a firm favourite at the Emirates.

However – a number of injuries have limited his time on the pitch and after the Gunners signed Oleksander Zinchenko – he has really struggled to get in the side this season.

That has led to all sorts of speculation in the media that he is one player that the Arsenal would be open to letting go at the end of the season – with the likes of Newcastle and West Ham linked with a move

Asked about Tierney’s current position in the squad, Arteta says that he has picked the Scot regularly during his time in charge, and it is down to the player to try and win his place in the side back.

‘He’s played under me a lot,’ said Arteta of the former Celtic man. ‘He understands the situation and he needs to challenge the situation.’

It has been a shame to see that such a talented player has been plagued by injuries at the top level, but that is because he has been giving so much for ARSENAL.

However – now may be the best time to leave the club as his game time will become even more limited – so a switch to a club like WEST HAM or Newcastle could be a very good decision to make.

But he is a fighter and there is still a chance that he could stay at the club and fight for his place in the side.
