Kieran Tierney gives Mikel Arteta the green light to create dream £41.2m Arsenal full-back duo

Kieran Tierney Arsenal Mikel Arteta Tariq Lamptey EPL Gunners Takehiro Tomiyasu Andrew Robertson Liverpool

Kieran Tierney’s domination in the Premier League also highlights why Arsenal need to sign Tariq Lamptey to create a dream full-back duo. The Gunners will need a right-back in the summer and the Englishman would be the perfect acquisition.

Only three full-backs have made more than 20 Premier League appearances this season and been dribbled past fewer than 10 times. Tierney tops the list having only been dribbled past once, while Lamptey is in second place, as the youngster has only been dribbled past nine times.

The Gunners will be in need of a right-back in the summer transfer window, and Lamptey would certainly be a good signing. The statistics of the youngster and Tierney highlight that Arsenal can follow Liverpool’s model of having dominant full-backs in defence and attack.
