Arsenal is serious about their intentions regarding Kieran Tierney, as Mikel Arteta drops several hints that put the football world on alert.

Kieran Tierney is determined and ready to help turn around Arsenal’s season, making himself available for three competitions as the Gunners face challenges. The Scotland international is nearing a return to full training with the club he seemed set to leave, suggesting he might get another chance to revive his career in North London. He is eligible to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League, and is also likely to play in the EFL Cup match against Crystal Palace in December.

Mikel Arteta mentioned last week, “I think he’s quite close; he looks good and really sharp. He hasn’t trained with the team yet, but hopefully he can do that in the next week or two.” This news is promising for Arsenal fans who have felt the absence of a dynamic presence from the full-backs since Arteta started using four central defenders in the backline. Tierney’s energetic style was a highlight for supporters during the early stages of Arteta’s tenure.
