Kieran Tierney, the talented left-back of Arsenal, has recently addressed the speculation surrounding his future with the club. Despite being linked with a potential exit, the 26-year-old Scotland international has asserted that his future largely lies beyond his control and expressed his contentment with the club.
Last season, Tierney experienced a significant reduction in his playing time, starting only six Premier League matches following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko as the preferred left-back. Nonetheless, he made a total of 36 appearances in all competitions, indicating his continued relevance to the squad. Although he mostly came off the bench and started in cup competitions after the arrival of Zinchenko, Tierney remained committed to contributing to the team's success.
With reports linking him to clubs such as Newcastle and his former team Celtic, Tierney has made it clear that he is in no hurry to depart from Arsenal. He understands that at a big club, regular selection for every game cannot be guaranteed, but he remains dedicated to the cause and continues to work hard to improve his game.
In regards to his future, Tierney stated, "It's not really up to me. I'm happy, I'm working hard every day and getting minutes. I'm just trying to do as well as I can." When asked if he had discussed his situation with manager Mikel Arteta, he confirmed that he had not engaged in such conversations.
Acknowledging the realities of being part of a top-tier club, Tierney remarked, "You can't play every single game, every single season, every single year. I don't expect that, and I still made a lot of appearances last year." He emphasized that regardless of his role, he always gives his utmost effort and dedication to the team. Even in matches where he came off the bench, Tierney strived to make a positive impact, whether it was to secure a victory or help the team score crucial goals.
Having signed with Arsenal from Celtic in 2019 for £25m, Tierney's current contract extends until 2026, indicating the club's trust in his abilities and potential. As he looks forward to the future, the full-back remains focused on honing his skills and contributing to Arsenal's success, demonstrating his commitment to the team and the sport.
While the transfer speculation continues, Tierney's dedication to Arsenal remains unwavering. As he strives to secure his place in the squad, fans can expect to witness more impressive performances from this talented footballer in the seasons to come
