Defender Kieran Tierney is spending the campaign on loan at Real Sociedad.

The left-back joined Arsenal from Celtic in 2019, but lost his place in the team following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko in 2022.

He also struggled with injuries during his time in north London.

Asked if he could play for Arsenal again, Tierney said talkSPORT: ‘You never know in football.

‘It’s a bit strange that you can come back like (William) Saliba did. It’s strange to be out on loan for four years and then come back to play.

‘Football is crazy, so we’ll see. I’m not talking to Arteta, he’s busy there’.

Tierney is enjoying his time at Real Sociedad, for whom he has made 21 appearances so far.

He said: ‘Honestly, it’s an incredible experience, I’m enjoying it. It is a pity that there is so little time left, there are a good six or seven weeks left of the season.’

The Scotland international has two years left on his Arsenal contract, but it remains to be seen where he will play next season.

In addition to Zinchenko, Arsenal have several other defenders capable of playing at left-back, such as Jakub Kiwior, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber, with the latter closing in on a return from injury.

Tierney has played 124 games for Arsenal and has scored five goals. He won the FA Cup in 2020 and has also lifted the Community Shield twice.
