Kieran Tierney Hopes to Help Arsenal Get Back into the Champions League

Kieran Tierney is fully committed to helping the Gunners back into the Champions League.

He made his bow in the Carabao Cup win over Nottingham Forest last week before playing all 90 minutes in their 4-0 home victory over Stade Rennais in the Europa League.

The 22-year-old left-back had to wait for his Arsenal debut following his summer move as a niggling groin problem left him on the sidelines.

“I think the club is a massive club and it deserves to be in the Champions League. We know the ambitions and the aims of the club and supporters. We are all in it together and hopefully we can do that.

“It is an absolute honor that they really liked me enough to come and get me. It is a privilege to play for the club.”

Tierney has a reputation as someone who will shun any spotlight pointed in their direction.

“I train, I work hard, I go home and recover and train the next day. It is just a simple life and I just put everything into football and all I can to just try and reap the rewards.”
