Real Sociedad Enquire About Loan Move for Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney
Real Sociedad have reportedly made an enquiry to take Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney on loan for the season. The Scottish international, who arrived from Celtic in 2019, was initially the first choice in his position but injuries have hindered his progress and he has fallen down the pecking order.
Last season, Tierney made 27 Premier League appearances, but only six of those were in the starting XI. With the arrival of Jurrien Timber from Ajax this summer, his opportunities could be even more limited in the upcoming campaign. This situation has caught the attention of Real Sociedad, who are hoping to secure a season-long loan for the 26-year-old.
Real Sociedad’s fourth-place finish in La Liga last season earned them a spot in the Champions League, making their proposal an attractive one for Tierney. If promised more regular football in northern Spain than he would receive in north London, he may consider the move.
In addition to Tierney, Real Sociedad has also been linked with a move for Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek. The Dutchman, who is looking for an escape route from his disastrous spell at Old Trafford, could also be loaned out. Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing, but Manchester United would prefer a permanent transfer as they aim to raise funds for further deals this summer.
This potential loan move for Tierney comes after Arsenal agreed to loan out Marquinhos to Nantes. The Brazilian midfielder is set to leave Arsenal temporarily to gain more playing time. Arsenal has also rejected a bid from Monaco for striker Folarin Balogun, as they stick to their £50m valuation.
