Kieran Tierney has seemingly already explained why he won’t be moving to Real Madrid despite rumours that he’s on the club’s radar. After signing a new deal in June of last year, the Scotsman confirmed his love for the club.
Kieran Tierney said: “It feels amazing. The manager came to me and said, ‘I want you to extend your deal, we’re so happy with you.’ It was amazing for me to hear because I’ve worked hard since I joined. I had a hard first season with injuries and Covid but last season it really picked up for me, the club have been brilliant with me, so I was more than happy to extend. The vision of the club and where it wants to go and the expectations of the club is where I want to be in football; at the top. There’s no doubt about it, we’re not where we want to be just now. But we’re going in the right direction. The way the club is run on the inside is amazing, I love all the staff, I love all the players, I love the manager and working with them is an absolute joy. Being happy in life speaks for a lot and I’m happy right now.”
Tierney is very much part of Mikel Arteta’s plans at Arsenal, and with the project now up and running, he’ll be looking to help the Gunners continue to grow in the coming years.
