Alan Smith has suggested on Sky Sports Premier League (3:29pm, March 12, 2023) that Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney could leave the Gunners in the summer transfer window.
The Sky Sports pundit made the comments about Tierney in the 72nd minute of the Premier League game between Fulham and Arsenal at Craven Cottage in London on Sunday afternoon.
The former Celtic left-back was coming on as a substitute.
Former Arsenal star Smith was on co-commentary duty for the London derby on Sky Sports.
Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0 in the Premier League match.

Smith said: “You wonder about Kieran Tierney. He will be frustrated not to be getting much football. Whether he stays at the club in the summer, we have to wait and see.”
Could a summer exit happen?
In our view, Kieran Tierney could leave Arsenal at the end of the season.
There is already speculation that Leeds United, Newcastle United and Aston Villa want to sign Tierney.
Oleksandr Zinchenko has established himself as the first-choice left-back at Arsenal now, and it is hard to see that status change anytime soon.
We believe that there is a very good chance that Arsenal and Tierney’s relationship ends at the end of the season.
A move away from Arsenal and to a club where he would play regularly would be a good idea for Tierney.
