Arsenal players are in dreamland at the moment.
The Gunners are top of the Premier League standings after what’s been a stunning start to the 2022-23 campaign.
Nobody expected Arsenal players to be this ruthless and everybody seems to be absolutely loving life under Mikel Arteta at the moment.
Well, almost everyone.
With Oleksandr Zinchenko sidelined, Kieran Tierney would’ve expected to get a lot more minutes in the Premier League after slipping behind the Ukraine international in the pecking order.
However, Arteta has been using Takehiro Tomiyasu – a right-back – as Zinchenko’s replacement.
The Spanish manager elected for Tomiyasu once again in the visit to Southampton on Sunday, the third successive game Tierney has been snubbed.
And the former Celtic left-back, a £25 million signing in 2019 [BBC Sport], could and probably should consider his future.
Zinchenko will be back pretty soon and does Tierney want to spend the rest of the season as Arteta’s third-choice option in the Premier League?
The 25-year-old is far too good of a left-back to be behind Zinchenko and Tomiyasu in the pecking order.
And with January approaching, the Scot is probably going to be examining his options if things do not change before the winter window opens.
