ArsenalmanagerArteta a U-turn when it comes to the future of Scottish international defender, Kieran Tierney. The £25m left-back was expected to depart this summer, with Newcastle among the favourites to sign him. Manchester City, too, are also known to have enquired about Tierney’s availability. However, in a sudden change of events, FootballTransfers is now reporting that Tierney will indeed be staying at The Emirates. However, in a sudden change of events, FootballTransfers is now reporting that Tierney will indeed be staying at The Emirates. According to FootballTransfers, Mikel Arteta has personally reached out to Tierney in a bid to convince him to stay. Despite interest from other clubs as well as Arteta looking at other full-backs as well, Tierney has been told by the Spaniard that he’s very much part of his plans. Arteta is keen to see Tierney remain and could use him either on the left of a back three or as a wing-back. The Arsenal boss has also apparently told Tierney not to worry about links to Manchester City defender, Joao Cancelo. It very much seems, then, that Arteta has performed a major u-turn when it comes to Tierney’s future. While Tierney might have wanted more minutes this season there’ll be chances next year with the return of Champions League football. A good squad who wins is about having more than just an XI. Arsenal need to make sure that’s the case and it makes sense for them to keep Tierney if they can. Arteta has clearly got a away with words with certain players. He’s convinced others to stay put before as well and it looks like he’s done the same here. Arsenal fans will be happy enough with this. Tierney is a solid player and on his day, a good Premier League left-back.

Arsenal still have chance to land dream duo as Chelsea 'not close' to signing top target

 Arsenal still have the opportunity to build Mikel Arteta’s dream midfield this summer by acquiring the services of Moises Caicedo from Brighton. The Ecuador international looked destined to join Chelsea this summer, though negotiations are ‘not close’ with the Stamford Bridge outfit. Following their impressive 2022/23 campaign, Arteta made it clear that he wanted to continue strengthening his squad in order to close the gap on Manchester City. The Spaniard prioritised a rebuild in midfield – allowing Granit Xhaka to leave and putting several players in the shop window. Thomas Partey is among those who could depart, with Saudi clubs circling in hope of landing the Ghana international. Thus, Arsenal could add another top-quality player to their midfield ranks – with Caicedo still admired. Earlier this summer, Arteta intended on signing both the Brighton star and  Declan Rice  but the finances involved became a deterrent and they prioritised the latter, who recently arrived...

YOU DESERVE IT’: PLAYER MIKEL ARTETA LET GO REACTS TO ARSENAL SIGNING DECLAN RICE

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles has told Declan Rice that he ‘deserves’ his transfer to Arsenal following his club-record move from West Ham United. The Arsenal fans had to wait a while, but Declan Rice is now their player after £105 million was put on the table for his signature, as reported by Sky Sports. Whilst Rice enters the door, the man who has just left, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, has just ended his long stay with the club after his contract expired and he had nothing but kind words to say about the former Hammers captain on Instagram.  Whilst Maitland-Niles, who was on-loan at Southampton last season, is no longer associated with Arsenal, it’s pretty obvious that he will still follow how his former club fair in their quest to win the Premier League title again. The Hale-End academy product won the FA Cup during his time at the Emirates, but it’s becoming champions of England which the fans crave the most. Nonetheless, this was the following message Maitland-Niles sent to Rice a...
