Kieran Gibbs has urged Arsenal to not sell defender Kieran Tierney during this summer's transfer window.
Tierney had been one of the first names on Mikel Arteta's teamsheet prior to this season, with Oleksandr Zinchenko displacing the Scottish international in Arteta's starting XI this term. Zinchenko's ability to invert into midfield helped the north Londoners become a more dominant team, becoming much better in the build-up phase.
Despite the Ukrainian international picking up an injury earlier this month, Tierney still found himself on the bench over the weekend when the Gunners took on Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, indicating that he may not be in Arteta's future plans. The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the likes of Newcastle United and Aston Villa but former Arsenal full-back Gibbs has told his old side not to sell the marauding left-back.
