Kieran Tierney will not leave despite transfer rumors. Kieran Tierney, a defender for Arsenal, is expected to remain with the club and contend for a starting position in the upcoming campaign.
According to Football Transfers, the left-back’s contract negotiations with the North Londoners are going well. After initially considering quitting the club, it now appears likely that he will stay at the Emirates.
Tierney was the target of a Manchester City and Arsenal trade proposal in which Joao Cancelo would have gone the other way in exchange for Tierney. The 26-year-old’s manager at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, is rumored to have sat down with him and made it clear that he doesn’t want him to go this summer.
The former Celtic full-back has been promised that he will play more games and be a key component of Arteta’s team in the upcoming campaign. He had a hard time getting enough playing time last year, starting just six of the league’s 27 games while chipping in with one assist.
According to reports, Arteta is not looking to add a new left-back, and even if Cancelo does sign on, he will only play as a right-back. Pep Guardiola, the manager of City, is a fan of Tierney, and his treble champions do continue to be intrigued.
But it appears that Arsenal went to great lengths to cling on to the left-back. In 123 games since his 2019 transfer from SPL team Celtic to the Emirates, he has scored five goals and contributed 14 assists.
Thomas Partey is a target for Arsenal this summer:
According to Romano, if Arsenal receives an alluring offer for Thomas Partey this summer, they may decide to trade the midfielder. The Ghanaian, whose contract has two years remaining, has drawn interest.
Partey played a significant role in Arteta’s team’s title challenge in the previous season’s Premier League. He played in 33 league games, notching three goals in that time, and was the center of his team’s midfield.
However, as has been the case during his time at Arsenal, injury problems hampered his campaign yet again. He missed crucial matches against Manchester United and Champions City.
In light of his injury problems, Arteta might be willing to sell the 30-year-old. Declan Rice, the captain of West Ham United, is Arsenal’s first objective, according to Romano. The Ghanaian might leave to make room for the English midfielder.
Three years ago, Partey transferred from Atletico Madrid to the North London club. Over those years, he has only made 99 appearances while tallying five goals and four assists.
