Mikel Arteta responds to Kieran Tierney to Man City transfer links

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was asked to comment on transfer speculation surrounding Kieran Tierney and Manchester City.

City sold Oleksandr Zinchenko to the Gunners earlier in the transfer window and have been on the lookout for a left-back to fill that role since. MEN Sport revealed this week that the Blues had agreed a fee with Anderlecht for full-back Sergio Gomez.

Reports have suggested that the Blues will be on the lookout for another left-back to add strength in depth to that position but, ahead of this weekend's fixture against Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola said he no longer wants to sign a new left-back following the acquisition of Gomez.

Responding to the Tierney to City links, Arteta said he did not want to comment on the player's future. "You know that I’m not going to be commenting on individual cases," he explained.

"He played 15-20 minutes last week and did really well. He’s been out for a long time after the knee injury. But he looks in perfect condition now and ready to go."
