Report: What Kieran Tierney was taught at Celtic caused problem among some Arsenal teammates

According to ESPN, former Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney ‘caused some awkward moments’ early on in his career at Arsenal during training.

Arsenal signed Tierney from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in the summer transfer window.

The Scotland international left-back arrived at the Gunners with a ‘train as you play’ mentality taught at Celtic, but that did not go down well with some of his teammates at Arsenal and was asked to tone it down during training sessions, according to the report.

However, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta favours the 23-year-old defender’s aggressive approach, according to the report.
