Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta does not want to let Kieran Tierney leave in the summer transfer window, according to a report.
Football Transfers are reporting this evening that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has directly told left-back Kieran Tierney during talks that he wants him to stay.
Arteta has sat down with Tierney and has made it clear to the Scotland international left-back he does not want him to leave this summer.
The Arsenal boss reportedly plans to play in a back-three next season, and Tierney does fit into that system.
Manchester City are interested in signing Tierney in the summer of 2023, according to Football Transfers.
What should Kieran Tierney do about Arsenal future after Mikel Arteta chat?
In our view, Kieran Tierney should consider all his options before making a concrete decision on his Arsenal future despite his chat with manager Mikel Arteta.
Yes, Arteta would like the £110,000-a-week (SalarySport) left-back to stay, but the former Celtic star needs to be clear about what role he will play in the team next season.
Newcastle United have also been linked with the left-back.
So, Tierney does have options.
The 26-year-old made six starts and 21 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal last season.
Tierney gave one assist in those games.
