Steve Clarke has urged Kieran Tierney not to give up on his Arsenal future as he made parallels between his own playing career and the Scotland defender.
Tierney has a decision to make in the summer with his role at high-flying Gunners diminishing by the game as Mikel Arteta's side search for a historic English Premier League crown. The 25-year-old has managed a handful of appearances at the Emirates this season due to the emerging importance of number one left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Celtic hero has made over 100 appearances since making the switch to London in 2019.
But with Newcastle United reportedly leading the charge for the defender's signature, Clarke is urging the youngster not make rash decisions like he did as a player at Chelsea. The Scotland gaffer revealed he has spoken with Tierney and that he is handling it 'well' but that he imparted some wisdom.
