The bargain price that you'll pay for Arsenal signing Kieran Tierney on Fantasy Premier League

Arsenal enjoyed a memorable transfer deadline day as they completed deals for two first team stars.

After signing the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Dani Ceballos and Nicolas Pepe, the focus for Unai Emery's side was to strengthen their defence as they look ahead to the Premier League season.

One addition was the signing of David Luiz from Chelsea, while the other was Kieran Tierney from Celtic.

The full-back arrived for a fee of £25million after weeks of negotiations which almost saw the move fall through.

However the Gunners finally got their man with little time to spare before Thursday's 5pm deadline.

With the Premier League starting this evening (Friday), football fans up and down the country are going through the painful process of selecting their teams for this season's Fantasy Premier League game.

Many will have settled on their preferred selection, however some of the deadline day additions may just have forced a few to reconsider.

One of those players who is likely to be a contender for most is Kieran Tierney.

An advanced full-back by trade, the likelihood is that the 22-year-old will be just as much an attacker as a defender, meaning that assists and even goals could be a real possibility.

Priced at just 5.5million, Tierney could be a real bargain buy.

It won't be a surprise to see him pop up in a number of teams up and down the country - at least when it's confirmed that he's fully fit.
