Arsenal star Kieran Tierney the club's most popular player in shirt sales

Scotland star Kieran Tierney is now the most popular player among Arsenal fans in terms of shirt sales.

The 2020/21 Gunners kit was recently released, but famous names like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are trailing the former Celtic left-back.

Tierney endured a difficult first few months at the club, but has been a huge success following English football's restart this summer.

The 23-year-old was named Arsenal's Player of the Month for June by fans, and now has an FA Cup winner's medal following his side's 2-1 win over Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.

Tierney's number three shirt is currently top of the chart for sales with names and numbers on the back, with Bukayo Saka in second place.

Aubameyang is third, Lacazette is fourth and Hector Bellerin is fifth.

Arsenal legend Lee Dixon has joined the ranks of those hailing Tierney's performances.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Dixon said: “Kieran has been likened to Nigel Winteburn and that’s a great thing to have on your CV.

“He’s got that hunger, that desire, that willingness to run all day. That should be a given but sometimes it isn’t."

Tierney, who has been capped 12 times by Scotland, joined Arsenal from Celtic in 2019 for £25m.
