Arsenal are preparing for a huge summer transfer window, where Mikel Arteta has admitted that "tough" decisions will have to be made to progress the squad forward. That likely means moving on some players, no matter how much sentiment is there over their time at the club.
Many have speculated that Kieran Tierney could be one of those players on the move, with the Scotland international struggling to get into the side. The arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko has seen the side move towards using inverted full-backs to help create their build-up from the back.
Arteta has attempted to transform Tierney into a similar role, but the defender's attributes are far more suited to overlapping and attacking down the flank. It's seen him fall out of favour, but recent weeks have made a stronger case for the defender to make his way back into the side.
