The togetherness of the Arsenal team has flourished since Mikel Arteta began his reign as Arsenal boss. His ruthless take on the side has seen players leave until the Spaniard has constructed a united group all singing from their manager’s hymn sheet.
To think that Arsenal could sell one of their starting eleven this summer with the club on the rise might seem farfetched, but little is guaranteed in football. Especially when clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona come calling and the Gunners know all too well about losing their top players to the La Liga heavyweights.
Having already seen Nicolas Anelka, Cesc Fabregas and Alex Song leave at crucial moments to Spain, the latest rumours regarding Kieran Tierney will only highlight old wounds that have perhaps not completely healed in the minds of the fans. Yet, this has not stopped The Sunday Post from claiming that Real Madrid chief scout Juni Calafat has sent back a glowing report of the Scot.
