Arsenal are in the process of finalizing a new deal for defender Kieran Tierney.
According to reports, the left-back is set to sign a five-year contract with the Gunners this summer. The new deal will take his wages up to £110,000 per week.
Tierney will be one of the highest earners at the club once the deal is signed, and the new contract certainly reflects his standing and importance at the club.
The Scottish international has established himself as a key player for Arsenal since joining the club, and the fans will be delighted that the Gunners have moved quickly to secure his long term future.
As per the Athletic, the contract will be officially signed once the player returns from this summer’s European Championships. Kieran Tierney is currently away on international duty with Scotland.
The 24-year-old is still quite young for a defender, and he’s likely to improve with experience and coaching.
The former Celtic star has the potential to develop into one of the best left-backs in Europe. It will be interesting to see his development over the next few years at Arsenal.
The 24-year-old defender has made a total of 42 appearances in the Premier League since joining Arsenal in 2019. The Gunners will be hoping that he can get over his injury problems and start every week next season.
The Londoners lack quality backup options as far as the left-back position is concerned, and Tierney’s absence has often weakened the side considerably.
