Scotland boss Steve Clarke has revealed that he has been speaking to Kieran Tierney about his future with Arsenal.
Tierney has struggled for game time this season, with summer arrival Oleksandr Zinchenko usurping him as Mikel Arteta's starting left-back given the Ukrainian international's ability to invert into a midfield role when his side are in possession. In total, the 25-year-old has played just 489 minutes of Premier League action this term, leading to plenty of speculation surrounding his future in north London.
Newcastle United are one team that has been linked with a summer transfer for the talented defender and Clarke has claimed that the player has been handling his ongoing situation in a typically professional manner. "Kieran understands it's one of the things you have to deal with at a top-level club," Clarke said when asked about the former Celtic fullback.
