Real Sociedad set to loan Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney

Real Sociedad has emerged as the leading contenders in the race to secure the services of Kieran Tierney, as ongoing negotiations with Arsenal point towards a potential season-long loan arrangement.

Kieran Tierney, a stalwart figure at Arsenal, has showcased his talents in 91 matches, managing to find the net on three occasions. His value in the market, as expertly evaluated by Transfermarkt.com, currently stands at an impressive 25 million euros.

Stepping onto the international stage, Tierney has represented Scotland across 38 matches, making a notable contribution with a solitary goal.

Sources close to the situation have conveyed that Tierney is eagerly enthusiastic about the prospect of joining La Liga’s Real Sociedad. The club’s involvement in the illustrious Champions League group stages adds an enticing layer to the opportunity, affording Tierney the chance to once again feature consistently in one of Europe’s premier football leagues.

Although Kieran Tierney’s boyhood team, Celtic, and his original club have been tagged as favorites by bookmakers to orchestrate a sensational homecoming for the 26-year-old, who left for a record-breaking £25 million in 2019, no formal approach has been initiated by the Hoops to secure his return.
