Kieran Tierney has become a key part of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal revolution. But the left-back’s form has not gone unnoticed elsewhere, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in the defender.
Kieran Tierney said: “I think the vision of the club and where it wants to go, the expectations of the club is where I want to be in football, at the top. There’s no doubt about it that we’re not where we want to be just now but we’re going in the right direction. The way the club is run from the inside is amazing, I love everyone – all the staff, the players, the manager and working with them is an absolute joy. So being happy in life speaks for a lot and I am happy and more than happy to commit my future.”
While Tierney is clearly very happy at Arsenal, it is also apparent that the club will have to continue matching his ambition to keep him satisfied with life at the Emirates Stadium. The Scotland international wants to be “at the top”, something Real Madrid could immediately offer. If the Gunners’ trajectory takes a dip, it will be interesting to revisit his thinking.
