Tierney urged to leave Arsenal
Former Arsenal hitman John Hartson has urged Kieran Tierney to seriously consider leaving the Emirates this summer.
During an appearance on talkSPORT, he said: “Am I surprised? Probably.
“After being there a couple of years, he hasn’t held down a regular place.
“We all thought he’d go down there and rip the Premier League up.
“We know of his talents but obviously, [Oleksandr] Zinchenko the Ukraine left-back, came from Manchester City.
“He’s a serial winner, he’s won titles and everything else, he’s a wonderful player.
“He can play left-back, he drifts into midfield, he’s another outstanding player, Zinchenko.
“I know Kieran can play a number of positions, such as centre-half, but with [William] Saliba and Gabriel [Malaghaes] there, they have some brilliant centre-backs as well, Arsenal.
“I’m not surprised he’s on the radar of several clubs, in particular a club that are going forward in the world in Newcastle, but am I surprised?
“No, not really. It hasn’t happened for him, but he’s too good not to be playing every week.
“He was totally out of the fray at the weekend, and wasn’t even a sub. Arsenal went on and won 2-1.
“I don’t know if he’s injured or had a knock, but maybe that relationship with the manager is not quite there.”
