Report: Unai Emery now wants to sign £25m Arsenal player for Aston Villa before deadline day

Tierney’s desire, however, is to leave, and the report claims that six teams are keen to sign him – Girona, Sevilla, Valencia, Newcastle United, his former club Celtic and Emery’s Aston Villa.

It has then been suggested that if Arsenal can’t persuade Tierney to stay, they will accept offers between £25 million and £30 million.

Tierney’s current Arsenal contract expires in the summer of 2025.

Tierney has no future at Arsenal

Even if Tierney can get himself back to full fitness and reach his best level, there is no way he is going to be able to get back into this Arsenal side.

The Scot has Oleksandr Zinchenko, Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu and even Jakub Kiwior ahead of him in the pecking order.

Unlike most of the names above, Tierney can’t play that inverted full-back role, which was the reason why he was loaned out in 2023 in the first place.

Irrespective of whether he stays or leaves, we cannot see a world in which Tierney will play any significant role for Arsenal again.

If Emery wants to sign him and is ready to pay big money, we’re sure Arsenal would welcome that offer with open arms in the coming days.
