Mikel Arteta ready to lose Arsenal 'player he loves' as Premier League transfer targeted

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appears to be willing to let Kieran Tierney leave the Gunners in the summer amid interest from fellow Premier League outfit Newcastle.

Tierney's departure from the Emirates would have seemed unfathomable just a couple of years ago, when the Scotland international was one of the most important players in Arteta's system. However, the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer has rendered the former Celtic man somewhat redundant at the Emirates this season.

Tierney's time at Arsenal has been littered with injuries and he has made just 113 appearances since his summer switch back in 2019. While he has featured 17 times in the league this term, Tierney's actual game time translates to just 468 minutes so far, averaging less than half an hour per game.
