Nigel Winterburn, a former Arsenal defender, feels that Tierney will remain at the Emirates Stadium despite interest from other major league teams. In an interview with the Free Super Tips website, he explained:
“It means that he is doing well enough to be connected to such teams. I’m not too concerned about those rumours since he’s still at Arsenal. He’s under contract, and there hasn’t been any indication to me that he would want to go.”
Winterburn went on to say:
“When you are connected to big teams, everyone thinks it is fantastic. But he is already at a huge club that is working hard to get back to where they want to be.”
Winterburn went on to say that the team is working really hard to restore their place in the Premier League. They want to compete in the major European competitions after that.
“If they can go back to that point domestically, the only thing left is to be competitive in Europe. This is something Arsenal has always sought to accomplish, even when I was there. But personally, I’m not concerned about these kinds of rumours since he doesn’t seem to desire to push for a shift away from his current location,” he said.
