Tierney has been linked with a move away after completing a loan with Real Sociedad last season. In February he exclusively opened up to Mail Sport about how much he was loving his time with the LaLiga club. The 27-year-old Scottish full-back has two years left on his deal, which is worth in excess of £100,000 per week. Asked in May by The Athletic if he had played his last game for Arsenal, he said: 'There is every chance. 'Look at the squad depth in that position now. They have Zinchenko, [Jurrien] Timber, [Takehiro] Tomiyasu, [Jakub] Kiwior. Four players can play there.
