Tierney is set to leave Arsenal because he is not ready to compete with Zinchenko

Arsenal London defender Kieran Tierney is set to change clubs during the summer off-season, according to British media reports.

According to sources, the 26-year-old Scot, who completely lost his place at left-back with the arrival of Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko at Arsenal last summer, does not see any prospects for himself at his current team.

Given the degree of trust in Zinchenko, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is not ready to continue competing with him, Tierney is looking for options to switch teams so he can practice playing time in the new season. So far, two other APL clubs, Newcastle and Aston Villa, have been named as the most likely options for the Scot. It is not impossible that Tierney will agree to a loan deal.
