Former Arsenal star Bacary Sagna is convinced Kieran Tierney can become one of the world's best IF he keeps the faith.
The former Celtic star remains a key man at the Emirates, however, his game time has been limited this season with Oleksandr Zinchenko establishing himself as the Gunners' first choice at left back. Mikel Arteta remains a huge believer in the £25m star and Sagna is adamant leaving North London is not an option.
Tierney came off the bench in Sunday's 2-0 win over Tottenham but has had to settle for regular game time in the Cup competitions this season. But Sagna is adamant things can turn quickly and believes the 25-year-old must keep striving to improve and opportunities will once again become available.
Sagna, speaking to Midnite, said: "Kieran Tierney should not leave Arsenal, it's a long project. I was in the same situation at Man City when I joined, I was benched more than what I was used to. I took it as a challenge, from the second year I was the most used player alongside Nicholas Otamendi. Tierney needs to fight for his position, he should take the Oleksandr Zinchenko signing in a good way because it will make him work harder and make him better.
"Life is full of challenges and Tierney is facing one now. He's still young and one of the best in the league, and probably the world in the future if he continues to work hard. Zinchenko brings something different and is a top professional."
