Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney and Andrew Robertson of Liverpool are Scotland international teammates.
Tierney is one of the best and most promising young left-backs in Europe and joined Arsenal from Celtic in the summer transfer window.
Robertson has established himself as one of the most reliable left-backs in the Premier League and is a key figure in the current Liverpool team.
The 22-year-old and the 25-year-old are Scotland international teammates, and given that both are left-backs, it is only natural that the former is compared to the latter.
Tierney has said that he does not to compare himself to Robertson when he was posed the question.
The Scotland international told The Scottish Sun: “I will just bring myself to the club, I don’t compare myself to anyone. I am just focused on my game and doing the things I need to do to improve.
“If it’s good enough it’s good enough, and if not it won’t be for a lack of trying. All I do is work hard every day, listen to the manager and the coaches and to improve.”
Succeeding at Arsenal
Tierney was a huge success during his time at Celtic, and the 22-year-old will be determined to repeat his heroics at Arsenal.
The Scotland international played well for the Gunners in the Europa League on Thursday evening, and the Emirates Stadium faithful should look forward to watching him in action week in and week out.
