Real Sociedad is reportedly on the verge of securing a season-long loan deal for Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney. According to The Athletic, the agreement does not include an option or obligation to buy, but Sociedad will pay a loan fee and cover Tierney’s salary in full.
The 25-year-old Scottish international endured a frustrating campaign last season, making just six starts in the Premier League. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta often preferred Oleksandr Zinchenko in the left-back position, limiting Tierney’s playing time.
Despite his limited opportunities, Tierney showcased his quality whenever he was on the pitch. Known for his attacking prowess and defensive solidity, he possesses all the attributes required to excel at the highest level. Real Sociedad recognizes this potential and is keen to secure his services for the upcoming season.
For Arsenal, allowing Tierney to go out on loan could be seen as a strategic move. It would provide him with regular playing time and an opportunity to regain his form while also ensuring that he remains part of their long-term plans. Additionally, it allows Arteta to explore other options at left-back without completely closing the door on Tierney’s future at the club.
If the deal goes through as reported, it would be an exciting move for both parties involved. Real Sociedad would acquire a talented and versatile player who can contribute significantly to their ambitions next season. Meanwhile, Tierney would have an opportunity to prove himself once again and potentially return to Arsenal as a more confident and experienced player.
Overall, this potential loan move could be beneficial for all parties involved and could pave the way for Kieran Tierney’s resurgence in top-flight football.
