Summer recruit Oleksandr Zinchenko has been the top pick in that left-side role since his switch from Manchester City but after he was ruled out injured for the final run-in, the former Rangers midfielder and Gunners boss opted to use Jakub Kiwior with Tierney havving to make do with minutes from the bench - a regular occurrence this season.
The Scotland international - who is part of Steve Clarke's squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers with Norway and Georgia - has been strongly linked with a switch to St James' Park with Eddie Howe a big admirer.
