One man currently shining for Arsenal right now, among many more, is Kieran Tierney. In fact, he’s doing so well, he’s even caught the eye of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

According to Football London, the Spanish giants want to pinch the Scotland international from Arsenal, in a move which would surely devastate Mikel Arteta.

However, it seems there’s nothing to worry about.

What’s the story?

Well, Football London believe Tierney has no intention of leaving the Emirates Stadium, and remains fully committed to the Gunners.

The Arsenal No.3 still has four years remaining on his contract in north London, so any exit would cost the buying club a significant fee anyway.

So far this season, Tierney has made 22 Premier League appearances for the Gunners, scoring one goal while also providing three assists.

Football London also claim that the 24-year-old finds himself on the shortlist of other European giants, so he’s clearly a man in demand.

Barcelona and Real Madrid rejection speaks volumes about Arsenal

Barcelona and Real Madrid are arguably the two most attractive clubs on the planet, and few players turn them down.

Therefore, the fact Tierney is happy to stay at Arsenal, despite interest from the Spanish giants, speaks volumes.

Clearly, the Emirates Stadium is an exciting place to be right now, and the players are fully invested in what Arteta is trying to do.

Even Philippe Coutinho left a very intriguing project under Jürgen Klopp behind for Barcelona, so it truly does say a lot that Tierney has rejected Xavi and Carlo Ancelotti.

Hopefully, the ex-Celtic man continues to go from strength to strength at Arsenal.
