£30 million star has been advised to complete Arsenal transfer deal this summer

Alan Smith has encouraged Kieran Trierney to pack his bags this summer and leave ARSENAL.

A few seasons ago – Tierney was a player that the fans loved and that Mikel Arteta really relied on – but injuries have really ruined his time at the Emirates and he has really struggled for game time.

That has led to constant speculation in the media that he is one player that will be leaving the club – with the likes of West Ham and Newcastle two clubs that are interested in a possible deal.

Now – amid all the speculation and rumours – Smith believes Kieran Tierney should be looking for a summer move after struggling for game-time last season.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

Smith told Gambling Zone.: ‘It seems that he’s not quite an Arteta player in terms of his playing style, but as a personality, he is.

‘Kieran Tierney’s attitude is first class, but that kind of attacking left back bombing down the outside and getting crosses in doesn’t seem to be the way that Arteta wants to go. He likes to play with an inverted full back.

‘Defensively, one against one, he is better than Zinchenko. It looks like he might leave the club, which is a shame because the fans love him.

‘They love his attitude. He deserves to be playing every week and whoever gets him will be signing a good player and person.’

SHOULD TIERNEY LEAVE THE CLUB?

The short answer is yes he should.

He is now well down the pecking order at the Emirates and will struggle to make an impact next season – and he needs to be playing at this stage of his career.

There are some decent teams interested – so a move may be a very good idea.
