Kieran Tierney’s future at Arsenal remains highly uncertain as the defender finds himself out of favour at the Emirates.
He spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad but picked up an injury during Euro 2024, which has kept him sidelined for weeks.
With the transfer window closing in just over five days, there is still no clear resolution regarding his next move.
Arsenal has identified Tierney as one of the players who need to depart, as there is little room for him in Mikel Arteta’s plans.
The Gunners believe the defender would be better off at a new club, but his injury record has deterred most potential suitors.
However, that situation might be changing. According to a report in The Sun, Aston Villa is now targeting Tierney, with Unai Emery keen on a reunion with the Scottish international.
Emery, who previously managed Arsenal, worked with Tierney during his time at the club and is interested in bringing the defender under his guidance once again.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Tierney has to find a new home if he wants to keep playing, and Villa will be a fine team to join.
They are an ambitious side who have just qualified for the Champions League, so he will play with quality players.

Not so much an “outcast” as “out, in a cast”.
Oh my, that’s terrible and funny at the same time. Well done.
Great, take it away!
He is the “forgotten man”, isn’t he. Attention for possible sales focuses on the likes of Eddie, Ramsdale, Kiwior, and Nelson but apart from a report a while ago that Celtic “could” be interested in taking him back there hasn’t been much mention in the media at all so any interest from Villa would be very welcome.
That said, given his obvious injury problems – he takes the (unwelcome) prize from Jesus on that score – I don’t really see any club buying him. Would Arsenal in Villa’s position? That leaves a free transfer or cancelling his contract (if he’s up for it). Arsenal really needs to move him – and his salary – off their books asap.
