There have been lots of rumours about the possibility that Kieran Tierney would be sold this summer but without any reliable sources confirming that it was likely. and lately it seems that most of the rumours are saying he’s moving uo to Newcastle (much nearer his Scottish home).
It was not long ago the talented youngster was being tipped as a future Arsenal captain, and is much admired by Arsenal fans, but then Zinchenko arrived in the summer and displaced the Scotsman at left back.
And even when the Ukranian was unavailable, Arteta used Tomiyasu in his place, which was considered tactical
But right now, both Zinchenko and Tomiyasu are put for the rest of the season, so, with second place guaranteed, we all thought it was a shoo-in that Tierney would be playing today.
But we all got a big shock when Arteta announced his starting XI for tonight’s game at Nottingham, and incredibly we found out that he had decided to use Xhaka as left back. We all know Tierney is fit, as he was named on the bench (as he has been for quite some time) but he wasn’t given which would have been only his 7th start of the season.
On Twitter, the rumours about Tierney have increased drastically…

Arteta did bring Tierney on for Xhaka in the the last 30 mins of tonights game, But it does seem certain to me he is going to be leaving Arsenal sooner rather than later.
