Arsenal star Kieran Tierney has been backed by Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish to fight for his place and future at the Emirates Stadium. It comes as the once ever-present Scottish defender has struggled to fight his way into the side so far during the title chasing campaign.
Tierney has been handed just four starts in the Premier League by Mikel Arteta, having been ousted by Oleksandr Zinchenko since his arrival from Manchester City. The 25-year-old has had to adjust towards playing an inverted full-back role that is more natural to his Ukrainian counterpart.
“I don’t know, I’m not thinking about that," Arteta responded when asked about the future of Tierney last month. “I’m thinking about what’s best for the team and the players who earn the right to play minutes, that they all deserve. We’re going to try and do that in the next couple of games.”
