He’s surplus to requirements at Arsenal, but Kieran Tierney has agreed a megabucks deal with Celtic where he’ll be the best paid player.
The agreement for Tierney to move north of the border has been in place for a while now, but Mikel Arteta refused to allow the player to leave in the summer.
Things could’ve worked out much differently after West Ham agreed a deal for Tierney with Arsenal during the summer, though the player’s mind was clearly made up to return to Celtic.
Kieran Tierney to become Celtic’s highest earner
According to journalist, Pete O’Rourke, speaking on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Tierney will now become Celtic’s best-paid player under Brendan Rodgers.
It isn’t clear exactly how much he’ll be earning though it’ll seemingly not be “anywhere near” what he earns with the Gunners.
That, in itself, should indicate the gulf between the English and Scottish top-flight, and the fact that Tierney is believed to be willing to take a substantial pay cut in order to get regular football and be happy deserves the plaudits.
Far too often nowadays players appear to be more interested in how much money they can earn rather than moving for the enjoyment of playing week in and week out.
Arsenal have underused Kieran Tierney so far this season
It will be interesting to see whether, as we head towards the business end of the season, whether Mikel Arteta will see his way clear in terms of handing Tierney some minutes.
As transfermarkt note, however, the left-back has played for just 109 minutes across games in all competitions, so it would appear that, unless there is a major injury crisis at the Etihad Stadium, Tierney will remain on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.
It doesn’t take a genius to work out why Arteta doesn’t play Tierney!
He is far and away the best left sided fullback at Arsenal, yet the current manager has done all he can to hamper him since his arrival.
This typical mindset from him, and those like him, is why they drift into the rear view mirrors of winners!
Kieran Tierney is really a good player but his greatest undoing is often injured there being on the treatment table always but my prayers for him is that God will help him to overcome it that is that.
Yes I want to comment on Thomas Pattey because he did what no referees in England can never do you see after today’s match with Leicester he came out and admited that he did perform well as he used to be but no referees in England can do that because they are perfect I am looking forward the day a referee will openly come out and confess his mistake instead he gives red card to cover up, and again on the strikers issues it’s not only Mikel Merino that can play as striker but before I continue I must compliment him and wish him more success, another player that can play nine is Ricardo Califiori even I thought it’s him Arteta will introduce I am getting happy now that Merino can play the number 9 you know one thing he tried not to be offside that makes him more suitable for the position, but who said that Mikel Arteta is not watching his players potentials Kudos to you only this can win you the manager of the month award.
