Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has been the subject of much speculation linking him away from the club having fallen down the Gunners’ pecking order over the course of this season. As the Mirror reports, a Premier League rival club is plotting a move for the Scottish left-back as part of a summer spree.
Newcastle United are reportedly preparing to take Tierney to the North East ahead of next season. Tierney, who was signed from Celtic in August 2019 for £25 million, has seen his regular starting spot taken up by former Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, and this potential interest could prove to be the end for the 25-year-old’s Arsenal career.
Despite returning to fitness following a knee injury, the Scottish international has been forced into a back-up role. As Mikel Arteta’s side tackles the run-in for the Premier League title, Tierney’s role has been limited, often named on the substitutes bench as his side push for the ultimate triumph.
