Tierney

Arsenal man among the players on Newcastle shortlist

Newcastle United’s interest in Kieran Tierney remains strong, and they might intensify their efforts to secure his signature now that he is not featuring in the Arsenal lineup.

Tierney’s position at the Emirates has notably weakened following the arrivals of players such as Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jurrien Timber, and Takehiro Tomiyasu. It has become apparent that his departure from the club is becoming more likely.

Arsenal’s stance is to facilitate Tierney’s permanent transfer, rejecting an initial loan proposal from Real Sociedad for his services.

While the Spanish team might revisit the possibility, Newcastle also displays genuine interest, spurred by Eddie Howe’s desire to bolster his defensive roster.

As reported by The Sun, Newcastle is considering the acquisition of either Tierney or Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella. Both defenders are currently out of favour at their respective clubs. Newcastle sees this as an opportunity to potentially secure at least one of them to bolster their squad for their return to the Champions League in the upcoming season.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Tierney’s lack of chances is down to the quality of the players above him on the pecking order and he needs to do his best to find a new home.

The Scotsman deserves more game time and should find a new club before this transfer window closes, all things being equal.

  1. Now that it is likely that Timber is going to be out for months, I don’t think we can afford to let him go as we are technically right back to square one with regards to strengthening our defence.

  2. Tierney lack of game time isn’t due to having superior players ahead of him. Do you want to tell me that Tomiyasu is a better LB than Tierney? I don’t think so.

    It’s more of the managers man management skills…if you seem to question him or demand for game time then the bench belongs to you!

    1. Yes I’ll tell you; better defensively, better in the air, two footed, can play inverted, better positionally, etc.

  3. Watched the Newcastle,Villa match and thoroughly enjoyed it.Both Managers opted for a conventional 4-3-3 set up, so if KT moved to either Club he should settle in quickly.Some very impressIve personal performances on view notably from Isaac and the new Villa signing, Diaby.Newcastle may well be a major threat this season.

  4. Time to move him on while we can actually get a decent return ,at this rate he will be rotting in the reserves all season and before you know it we will be paying him off to leave .
    If he’s not in the managers plans move him on and that goes for half a dozen more players .

  5. KT will make Newcastle even stronger as a competition, I don’t see why we want to do that to ourselves.
