Kieran Tierney is “open” to joining Newcastle if his Arsenal exile continues for the rest of the season.
The Scotland star finds himself stuck behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the Emirates pecking order, and Mikel Arteta shows no sign of losing faith in the Ukrainian as the Gunners try and hold off the threat from Manchester City and claim a first English Premier Division title in more than two decades.
Tierney now finds his career at a crossroads, almost four years on from making the £25million switch from Celtic to North London in what was a record breaking deal for the Hoops. Tierney had been expected to occupy the left back spot at Arsenal for years to come. But Zinchenko’s arrival from City has seen him thrust into the role of backup and he's mostly had to watch on as his team lead the way at the top of the table.
