Having said his farewells during his final few weeks at the club, Kieran Tierney admits that he’s “loved every minute” of his six years in north London.
The Scottish left-back will be a free agent in the summer and departs Emirates Stadium having played 144 times for us since arriving from boyhood club Celtic back in 2019. During his time with us, Kieran was part of the team that won the 2020 FA Cup in Mikel Arteta’s first few months at the helm, and his all-action, determined displays won him plenty of affection from our supporters.
And it’s those Gooners that he wanted to thank personally after he was afforded plenty of love during our lap of appreciation following our final home game of the season against Newcastle United, before being serenaded from the St Mary’s stands after he signed off with his sixth and final goal at Southampton on the final day.
