When Kieran Tierney was brought to Arsenal, it was as part of Mikel Arteta’s build-up of the squad that would bring the Premier League title back home. Arsenal climbed closer and closer to the title, but it turned out that Tierney is not the defender for the final leg.
Tierney has a solid 170 games for Arsenal, last season the Scot was on loan to Real Sociedad, returned to London with injury and has so far 69 minutes on the match scene. It was a very relieved Tierney after his return, but at the same time the decision has been made about the way forward, reports The Athletic.
According to the English media, Arsenal have decided not to activate a clause in Tierney’s contract for the extra season. This means that the 27-year-old will walk out as a free agent in the summer.
The Arsenal adventure is coming to an end for the Scot.
