Dean Jones says Arsenal prepared to sell Kieran Tierney this summer
Transfer expert Dean Jones has said that Arsenal are prepared to part ways with 25-year-old left-back Kieran Tierney this summer. Jones believes that Mikel Arteta likes the player but feels that he does not fit into the system as well as Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jones said:
“I don't think they're keen to get his wages off, but I think that they are very open to the prospect of him leaving. I think that they are happy with him as a player. I think that he's a good player, and they're completely content with the levels he can play at, but I don't think he fully fits the system.”
Tierney, who joined the club from Celtic in 2019, has featured in 115 games for Arsenal, scoring five times and providing 14 assists. According to the Telegraph, Newcastle United have made Tierney a target for the summer. Arsenal reportedly value him at £40 million.
