“I’ve been silent about it since i left Arsenal but now is the time for me to talk about how i was treated by Arteta”- Arsenal loan stan Kieran Tierney issued an emphatic response on Arsenal return as he revealed TWO reasons why he can NEVER play for Arsenal again.
Kieran Tierney has made it clear that he will not be returning to Arsenal from his loan spell with Real Sociedad this month. The Scottish player, who faced limited playing time at Arsenal last season, chose to join the Spanish club on loan to maintain fitness for Scotland’s Euro 2024 aspirations.
Despite encountering some injury challenges in Spain, Tierney has been performing well and contributing to Sociedad’s robust defense. In their last five league matches, the team has only conceded two goals.
While Tierney thrives in Spain, Arsenal is grappling with a left-back crisis, with Zinchenko struggling and Tomiyasu unavailable due to injury and participation in the Asia Cup.
Despite Arsenal’s defensive woes, Tierney has emphasized his commitment to staying with Sociedad, stating, “I’m going to stay here for sure.” However, he acknowledged that the final decision may not be entirely within his control.
Tierney’s comments suggest a strong desire to extend his time with Sociedad beyond the current season. The uncertainty lies in whether Arsenal, dealing with left-back challenges, will agree to a permanent departure. Zinchenko, Arsenal’s primary left-back, is under pressure due to disappointing performances, leading to calls from fans for a replacement.
Despite the criticism, Gunners legend David Seaman has supported Zinchenko, highlighting both Zinchenko and Tierney’s defensive and attacking strengths while emphasizing the importance of team defending.
