Nicolas Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette loved what Kieran Tierney did in Arsenal training session

Kieran Tierney is settling well at Arsenal.

The Scotland international joined the Gunners from Celtic in the summer transfer window for £25m, but is yet to make his debut.

This is due to undergoing a double hernia operation during the summer.

With Nacho Monreal leaving for Real Sociedad, Sead Kolasniac is currently the first-choice left-back and should start this weekend's Premier League clash against Watford.

But having struggled defensively in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur before the international break, Tierney can't return soon enough.

And supporters could soon get a glimpse of the left-back as he build up his fitness in training ahead of hopefully making his first appearance for the north London outfit at some point over the next three weeks.

Arsenal posted a video of the 22-year-old taking part in a training drill ahead of Sunday's trip to Vicarage Road, and fans spotted the defender nutmegging fellow defender Shkodran Mustafi during a Rondo.

Tierney's piece of skill also impressed Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe.

The Frenchman seemed to be pointing at the camera to make sure the nutmeg was captured, while Pepe pointed at his fellow summer arrival and then gave him the thumbs up.

Upon arriving at Arsenal in the summer, Tierney admitted it was tough to say goodbye to Celtic.

"I'm delighted to be here. When I was younger, it was always Celtic. The ambition was Celtic and that was my dream when I was younger," he said.

"But when you get older... I've done that, I've made my dream, I've lived my dream and I've loved every single minute of it.

"Now I just feel was the right time to take a step on.

"I feel this is a great opportunity for me."
