Arsenal's Kieran Tierney signs lucrative new long-term contract

Kieran Tierney has committed his future to Arsenal by signing a new long-term contract.

The Muirhouse ace was outstanding for the English Premier League side last season and he's developed into a fans favourite.

It's understood that the 24-year-old has signed an new five-year deal worth in the region of £100,000 per week.

Tierney has made 62 appearances for the Gunners since leaving boyhood club Celtic in the summer of 2019.

The left-back is a vital member of Mikel Arteta's plans at Arsenal and he also played a crucial role for Scotland at Euro 2020 this summer.

Arsenal boss Arteta was delighted that Tierney committed his future to the club, adding: “This is great news for us today. As manager of the club, speaking on behalf of the coaching staff and the entire staff, it’s a pleasure to work with KT.

"His quality, energy, commitment and professionalism, not only on matchdays, but every day in training are always at such a high level.

"KT gives us so much extra strength both defensively and offensively and it’s great to know that he’ll be with us for the long term.

"Since his move from Celtic, his work ethic and quality has ensured that he is already one of most exciting players in the Premier League and a hugely important part of our team, both on and off the pitch.

"I know all the fans will join me, the players and staff in looking forward to seeing KT playing in an Arsenal shirt for a few more years!”

Technical director Edu told the Arsenal website: “We are so pleased to have agreed a new long-term deal with Kieran.

"Anyone who has seen him play will recognise very quickly that he is a player of huge ability, but I can tell you that he is also a player with a fantastic attitude and mentality.

"Kieran’s new contract is not just about the present and next season, it’s with a long-term vision and Kieran being an integral part of the future of the club.”
