Arsenal high-earner expected to ask for exit after Mikel Arteta decision sends message

Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna is expecting Kieran Tierney to leave the club this summer due to his lack of game time.

After establishing himself as a regular since his move from Celtic in 2019, Tierney has become much more of a bit-part player this term following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. Zinchenko was immediately elevated to first choice and has quickly become a key figure in Mikel Arteta's side due to his ability to play in central areas.

As such, Tierney has started just four league games all season, with his last one coming all the way back on Boxing Day. The Scotland international was even an unused substitute in Arsenal's Europa League exit to Sporting CP on Thursday.
