Mikel Arteta’s chosen player to leave Arsenal in January

in Kiera Tierney is living his final days as an Arsenal player. The Scottish full-back, who recently returned to the pitch after six months of inactivity due to a muscular injury suffered during the Euros, could leave the club in the upcoming winter transfer window. Despite starting in the 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup quarterfinals, his future seems to be away from the Emirates Stadium.

The player, who expressed gratitude on social media for the support received upon his return, lacks the confidence of Mikel Arteta. As reported by journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic, Arsenal has decided not to extend his contract, which ends in June 2025. This allows Tierney to negotiate with clubs outside England starting in January and potentially leave before the end of the season.

Invisible to Mikel Arteta

The current season for the defender is marked by minimal involvement. Since his return, he has been called up seven times, accumulating only 69 minutes on the field. This lack of playing time appears to be the trigger for his imminent departure.

Tierneywho played for Real Sociedad last season, also faced numerous physical issues that hindered his performance in LaLiga. Now, with an uncertain outlook, his exit in January points towards a new chapter in his career, away from North London.
