Reflections on Kieran Tierney

Morning.

We spoke a bit about Kieran Tierney on the Arsecast Extra this week, after he made what will be his final home appearance in the 1-0 win over Newcastle on Sunday. Mikel Arteta is not usually a man who makes decisions based on sentiment, but both Tierney and Jorginho – who will also leave this summer – were given a few final minutes on home turf before their summer departures.

There was a moment after he came on when Gabriel Martinelli was sent scampering into their half, and Tierney charged through to support him.
