Kieran Tierney hailed as one of the best by former teammate
Kieran Tierney, the Scottish full-back, has been praised as one of the top players in world football by his former Scotland teammate, Stephen O’Donnell. Tierney is set to leave Arsenal, with the club placing a £10 million price tag on him as they prepare to sell him permanently after a loan spell at Real Sociedad.
Despite a successful start at Arsenal following his £25 million move from Celtic, Tierney fell out of favor with manager Mikel Arteta, leading him to seek playing time elsewhere. O’Donnell, who played alongside Tierney for Scotland, expressed his confusion over the situation, emphasizing Tierney’s talent and importance to any team when he is fit.
O’Donnell described Tierney as a top player with great qualities, highlighting his past successes at Celtic and potential moves to top clubs like Real Madrid. He expressed his joy at seeing Tierney return to form and earn a spot in the Scotland squad for the Euros, hoping to see him continue to succeed in the future.
