Kieran Tierney Arsenal 'hurt' flagged up as Gunners insider expects looming resolution for Celtic hero

A leading Arsenal media outlet expects Kieran Tierney to have serious conversations over his Gunners future IF his minutes remain limited.

The £25m left-back has been left with a watching brief for much of the English Premier League season with former Manchester City star Oleksandyr Zinchenko earning acclaim for his displays. Onlookers have waxed lyrical about the added dimension brought by the Ukraine star and his knack for moving into midfield to provide the league leaders with something extra.

Tierney remains a vital member of Mikel Arteta's squad and has clocked more game time than Zinchencko across all competitions - earning 1142 minutes to 1090 for Zinchencko who did miss time with injury. But the Scot remains second choice for the biggest games and there was a spell where right-footed Takehiro Tomiyasu earned the nod ahead of the former Celtic star. And there's expectation among those tuned into events in North London over a potential definitive summer for the Scotland international.
