Report – Arsenal content to offload Tierney to Premier League rival

Kieran Tierney’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain as the summer approaches.

The left-back saw a significant decrease in playing time following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko last season, resulting in a diminished role throughout the campaign.

This sharp decline is unexpected for a player who was regarded as one of the league’s best in previous seasons.

Despite Tierney offering stronger defensive capabilities, Mikel Arteta appears to favour Zinchenko, leading to speculation that Arsenal may part ways with the Scottish defender.

Football Insider has been reporting on interest in Tierney from Newcastle United, and their latest update suggests that Arsenal is open to selling him.

According to the report, the Gunners would be willing to offload the full-back if Newcastle can meet their demands with a suitable offer.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Tierney deserves to play and we all know this, but it might not be advisable to lose him when we know we have several competitions to play next season.

He is a superb backup and Nuno Tavares cannot fill the role he plays at the Emirates.

However, we back the club to make the right decision on his future, knowing we need to have a strong squad to compete for silverware next season.

  1. Problem is we always sell too low.
    Tierney should fetch 60m p in the prices that are going on in EPL. Especially if we sell to a direct rival.

  2. Right I’ve made up my mind about this. Kieran Tierney MUST NOT BE SOLD ! He must be kept and played regularly. If he was sold we’d have to get another LB, unless ofcourse MA is going to dip into our youth system and promote from within.

    1. Lino sousa? Could happen, as I think we’re happy to play kiwior or Tomi at LB when needed

      1. Davi – have you seen Sousa play ? I don’t watch the young ones unless I see a loanee playing at another club when the match is televised. What is he like ? Also what do you think about Marquinhos the striker we sent out to Norwich?
        I can’t see him breaking through any time soon.
        As an aside – my goodness Loftus-Cheek is an amazing non-entity to me, yet I’ve just heard Milan are interested in him. Sorry that has nothing to do with us ofcourse.

    2. Why would you keep a player that is not going to play that much.the last few games have shown that KT is no longer our back-up LB.the best thing for all parties is to sell him.we’ll get a pretty good fee for him and could use some of that money to buy a back up to Zinchenko who is familiar with the inverted full-back role.

      1. Siamois ,though I a m also a fan who rates Tierney , I am also arealist and so agree with you, that as MA does not rate him , as so many onJA do, it is a waste of time to stand against the inevitable.

        He will therefore, almost certainly, be sold, probably to Newcastle and a new LB brought in.

        A shame, but we lot are not the manager who got us to second place and made our team massively better ,in a single year, than previously.

        So, I WILL support MA’ s decision to sell Tierney.

        1. I am force to agree with you both, personally I have Tierney as one of the best left sided full back in the league.

          Obviously the gaffer sees him differently and won’t plays him , so it makes football sense to sell but not to Newcastle.

  3. It will be a very bad idea to sell Tierney. Arsenal will have to play in 5 cups this new season and needs players.

  4. Disagree with the author who claims Tavarez cannot play the wingback role. I actually think that role suits him better. Tavarez struggled with the inverted leftback role.

      1. TAVARES is , mentally, still a little kid and needs to grow up a great deal before he can ever properly represent a club at our level.

        He also needs to improve in reliability and decision making. I’d happily sell him,TBH!
