Rio Ferdinand has said on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE that Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is a great player.
The former Manchester United central defender believes that Tierney is a great talent.
However, Ferdinand has pointed out that the 24-year-old former Celtic left-back has had injury problems and cannot stay fit.
Ferdinand said about Tierney on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE: “Great talent, great player, can’t stay fit.”
Cause for concern?
Tierney is one of the best left-backs in the Premier League and is a big player for Arsenal.
The 24-year-old is brilliant going forward and is defensively sound as well.
The Scotland international is one of the first names on the Arsenal teamsheet.
You would struggle to find a single Arsenal fan who does not like Tierney and his attitude on the pitch.
However, Ferdinand has made a good point.
Tierney does tend to suffer injuries, like he did against Chelsea in the Premier League at the weekend.
The defender has spent quite a bit of time on the sidelines since his move from Celtic to Arsenal in the summer of 2019, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
Now, of course, that is not the 24-year-old’s fault, but this is certainly affecting Tierney.
Tierney has scored two goals in 44 Premier League appearances so far in his career.
