Rangers beat Aston Villa and Celtic to sign Arsenal star deemed surplus by Arteta

TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal that Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is not in Mikel Arteta’s plans, and he is willing to transfer him this summer.

The Scotland international dropped down the pecking order at the Emirates last season and was loaned out to Real Sociedad in August, where he has put in some solid displays.

Tierney has struggled with injuries this season, but he has made 16 appearances for the Spanish club and helped them maintain six clean sheets.

According to TEAMtalk sources, Sociedad is quite satisfied with the 26-year-old’s services thus far and would like to sign him on loan again next season.

They may not have that opportunity, however, because Arsenal want to sell Tierney, and Aston Villa, European clubs, and former club Celtic are all interested in him.

Tierney is unquestionably a great talent on his day, but injuries have slowed his development in recent years.

Nonetheless, TEAMtalk understands that several big teams will make bids for him in the coming months.

Arsenal announces their price for Kieran Tierney.

According to TEAMtalk, Aston Villa, as well as many Italian clubs and Celtic, are monitoring Tierney’s situation closely.

The left-back is under contract with Arsenal until 2026, and the club will examine offers in the €30 million (approx. £25.6 million) range this summer.

This will allow Arsenal to reclaim the £25 million they paid on Tierney when they signed him from Celtic in 2019.

Tierney has been an important player for Arsenal at various points throughout his career. He has made 124 appearances for the North London club, scoring five goals and providing 14 assists.

Arteta prefers Oleksandr Zinchenko, but when Jurrien Timber returns to full fitness, he will compete with Jakub Kiwior at left-back.

It will be fascinating to see whether any of Tierney’s suitors are willing to match Arsenal’s asking price in the coming months.

Villa have been looking for a new left-back for some time and have a variety of candidates, including Tierney. on their shortlist.

Celtic have always been interested in re-signing Tierney, who remains a well-thought of figure among the Hoops fanbase.
