Recently, Arsenal officially announced that the team officially signed the left wing Tierney from the Celtics. In the new season, he will wear the No. 3 shirt and race on the battlefield for the "Arsenal".
According to previous BBC sources, the Scotsman's transfer fee is £25 million and he has signed a five-year contract with Arsenal.
You know, as early as the beginning of June, the "Gunners" who were full of holes in the back line and lost the Europa League had a scandal with Tierney. However, the two sides have not been able to agree on the transfer fee of the Scottish Flying Wings, and the Celtics once claimed that Arsenal made a "shameful offer".
Therefore, at this point, the "protracted war" that lasted for a summer window finally came to fruition.
So, who is this 22-year-old youngster who made Arsenal remember? Is he the optimal solution to the left side of the "gunner"?
Tierney (Scotland)
Tierney was born on 5 June 1997 on the offshore island of the Isle of Man, between England and Ireland. Although the Isle of Man is a royal possession, strictly speaking, the island is not part of the United Kingdom.
Therefore, he left his hometown at a young age, and if he joined the Celtic youth training system, Tierney naturally chose to represent Scotland in the World Series.
This jun is 178 cm tall and weighs 70 kg, and is a left-footed player.
Tierney plays as a left-back and, due to his extreme speed, he is often able to support an entire wing.
In 2014, since being selected for the Celtic first team, Tierney has made a total of 170 appearances for the "Su Super League" in 5 years, contributing 8 goals and 27 assists, and the efficiency is decent.
Although Tierney only made 21 league appearances last season due to injuries, he also assisted his teammates in four scoring and helped the Celtics achieve a domestic "treble" again.
Although only 22 years old now, the young Scottish Flying Wing is definitely an honor.
He not only helped the team lift 5 Scottish League trophies, 3 Soviet Super League Cups and 3 Scottish League Cups, but also was selected for the PFA Best Team three times and was voted the Best Player of the Year, which can be said to be the best era of the "Lisbon Lions".
Back in 2016, in a friendly match between Scotland and Denmark, The 19-year-old Tierney made his debut for the national team.
So far, Tierney has made 12 appearances for the national team, but unfortunately he has not yet scored his debut for the national team.
On the other hand, due to the brilliance of Liverpool flying wing Robertson in the past two years, Tierney's position in the national team can often only be entrusted to the right.
According to the well-known data website Transfer Market, Tierney is currently worth €12.5 million, the fourth most scottish player. Behind Liverpool left-back Robertson (60 million euros), Bournemouth organisational core Fraser (30 million euros) and Fulham No. 10 Kelney (15 million euros).
And he is also the 6th player that the "Gunners" will bring in this summer window. The previous five were: Martinelli, Ceballos, Salibal, Nicholas Pepe and David Luiz.
In fact, there is no doubt that Tierney will be a strong complement to the Gunners' left-back position. After all, Monreal is 33 years old, and Kolasinac is a suitable candidate for a wing-back.
It is worth mentioning that in the new season, Tierney will wear the No. 3 shirt for Arsenal. As everyone knows, this jersey also belonged to a "gunner" legend - Ashley Kerr.
From 2000 to 2006, Ashley Cole spent an unforgettable 6 years at Arsenal. Here, he not only gradually grew into the "world's first left-back", but also experienced the invincible 03-04 season with the team.
Although the transfer to Chelsea was controversial, Cole's performance still struggled to shake his legendary status in the "Arsenal".
Hopefully, in next season's Premier League, Tierney will be able to take over Cole's mantle and take on the reinvention of the "post-Arsene Wenger" arsenal.
