Tierney has been limited to just five Premier League starts so far this season as Arsenal have mounted their most credible title challenge in more than a decade.

Supremely experienced after participating in multiple title-winning campaigns for the Citizens, Mikel Arteta has repeatedly selected Zinchenko over the Scotsman since the start of the season.
However, according to a report from Football Insider, Tierney may be set to make the opposite move to his Ukrainian teammate and continue his Premier League next season at the Gunners title rivals.
