SIX clubs battle for Arsenal star who’s ‘waiting for phone to ring’; Aston Villa, Newcastle interest ‘confirmed’

Kieran Tierney is a man in demand, with Aston Villa and Newcastle United among six teams interested in signing the Arsenal star, according to reports.

Tierney arrived at the Emirates in August 2019 when Arsenal paid Celtic £25million for him. Since then, the left-back has made 124 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions and chipped in with five goals and 13 assists.

Tierney has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal in recent seasons though, and this saw him get loaned out to Real Sociedad for the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign.

After making 26 appearances for the La Liga club, Tierney is now back in North London.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta actually wants the player to stay this season and help the Gunners finally get the better of Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

Arteta supposedly believes Tierney can play an ‘important role’ by competing with the likes of Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko for a starting spot at left-back, with Jakub Kiwior set to move on.
