'The Arsenal fans have helped me so much'

 

In an exclusive, long-read interview with the Arsenal matchday programme, Kieran Tierney has opened up about his move from boyhood club Celtic to Arsenal, at the age of 22 in 2019.

He was a firm fans' favourite with the Glasgow giants - having grown up a devoted Bhoy himself - winning four league titles and three Young Player of the Season awards after making his debut aged 17. But the Scotland international defender admitted the speed with which his new set of fans took him to their heart surprised him, and made the transition so much easier.

"One hundred per cent," Tierney told the matchday programme. "The Arsenal fans, ever since I came here, have been amazing. I was injured when I came so for them to show love to an injured player, who they probably didn't know much about, speaks volumes for how good a set of fans that is.
