Tierney

Will Tierney ask to leave Arsenal over playing time?

Kieran Tierney has struggled for game time since the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko in the summer and the Scotsman is not happy.

Before the Ukrainian came, Tierney was the undisputed starter at the Emirates because he was the best player in his position at the club.

However, Zinchenko came to the club with a lot of experience and has continued to show why he is the best of both players.

Arsenal could win the league this season and the ex-Manchester City man will be seen as one of the players who pushed them to this new level.

This means Mikel Arteta would easily continue to select him. However, The Sun reports that Tierney is no longer happy at the Emirates.

It claims the ex-Celtic man wants more game time, which could lead to him leaving the Emirates at the end of this season, with Newcastle United interested.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Tierney is one of the finest defenders in the Premier League now and remains one player we need in our squad for backup purposes.

But we also understand that he is too good for a bench role and the club might allow him to leave at the end of this season if they find a replacement.

  1. He’s such a good fullback, one of the very finest, only under Arteta… Newc would be a good move as he makes the strongest defense even stronger

  2. We keep him. Just when everyone was clamouring for quality depth once we got to good LB, fans are already saying he is too good for bench this that c’mon even Foden sits on bench.

    If we really want to move on to become a great team and successful as City have been in past 5 years we should be used to seeing quality players warming our bench IMHO

  3. Then for OUR club, it would be a bad move not “a good move”. You sound as if you are a Toon FAN!

    Why would any true Gooner want Newcastle’s defence strengthened?

    Your post makes no sense, IF you are a Gooner.

  4. I don’t think it’s a matter of the club wanting to move him on, but rather the player wanting to move on in search of playing time, which is more than fair enough considering his quality. Keep him against his wishes and we risk creating an unnecessary cancer in the locker room that could permeate the harmony of the team. Tough decision, but I’d wager we move on and look for a replacement in the offseason (unless we still have belief in Tavares).

  5. First, let’s get the facts straight: Zinchenko is not better than Tierney. And second, the fact that we are struggling to find playing time for one of the most trusted, reliable and valued squad member should be a big red flag. All this loose talk about selling Tierney is just bull####! Plain and simple.

    1. While you are entirely correct in your assessment of the players Rf, there comes a time when Tierney will become unhappy with his treatment and will seek a move.
