Arsenal star Kieran Tierney looks set to leave the club this summer after holding talks with manager Mikel Arteta about a switch, if recent reports are to be believed. The defender has struggled for game time this season, often playing in cup matches rather than in the Premier League.
The arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko saw Arteta move towards using inverted full-backs, pushing the defender into midfield to become a part of the build-up. Tierney's skillset is different though, often looking to cause opposition issues with width and attacking the spaces on the flanks.
The manager refused to rule out a possible exit for Tierney back in February, stating: "I don’t know, I’m not thinking about that. I’m thinking about what’s best for the team and the players who earn the right to play minutes, that they all deserve. We’re going to try and do that in the next couple of games."
