Kieran Tierney’s Arsenal exit appears to be turning into something of an inevitability at this stage. The Scottish international remains firmly behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the Arsenal Xi and, when fit, even Takehiro Tomiyasu has been preferred.
With plenty of investment needed at the club, Tierney represents one of the most saleable assets in the team and one who the club could deem expendable. With that in mind, the club are likely to need a replacement for him.
Joao Cancelo has been reportedly touted as a profile who is of interest to Arsenal. Having spent the second half of the season on loan at Bayern Munich, there are indications that Manchester City may be willing to sell having included a purchase clause in the contract that the German side so far have shown little intention of activating.
