Aston Villa’s Manager Unai Emery is keen on acquiring the services of Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, in the upcoming summer transfer window.
In a compelling turn of events, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has set his sights on securing the signature of Arsenal’s prized left-back, Kieran Tierney, during the highly anticipated summer transfer window. Emery, having previously managed the Gunners, successfully recruited Tierney in 2019. Although the Scottish international’s playing time under Emery was curtailed by unfortunate injury setbacks, his undeniable skill and potential were evident from the outset.
Recent reports The Times , suggest that Emery harbors a strong desire for a reunion with the “magnificent” Scotsman. Tierney, widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s premier left-backs when in optimal condition, finds himself uncertain about his future at Arsenal. This uncertainty has further fueled Emery’s pursuit, as he hopes to capitalize on the opportunity to secure Tierney’s services for Aston Villa.
While Tierney’s abilities are highly coveted, it appears that his style of play does not entirely align with the tactical preferences of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners’ boss seems to favor Oleksandr Zinchenko for the inverted full-back role, leading to limited game time for Tierney in the current season. This situation has presented Emery with an enticing prospect to bring Tierney to Aston Villa, where he believes the talented left-back can seamlessly slot into his squad.
However, Aston Villa faces stiff competition from fellow Premier League club Newcastle United, who are also vying for Tierney’s signature. The battle for the services of the Scottish international promises to be fiercely contested, as both clubs recognize his immense value and potential impact on the pitch.
