Arsenal planned for Kieran Tierney to leave the club this summer, and the player will hope to get a move in January once he’s fit again.

Charles Watts reports in the Daily Briefing that Arsenal had planned to sell or loan Kieran Tierney in the summer, and it likely would have happened if not for his injury at the Euros.

Watts writes that Tierney isn’t in Mikel Arteta’s plans, and he accepts that fact. He’ll now hope to get a move in January, most likely on loan, so he can get some minutes ahead of a summer transfer.

As it stands, Tierney is reportedly still working on making a return to full fitness after that hamstring injury. Despite recent pictures of the player in individual training, he’s clearly not match ready yet.
