Arsenal defender, Kieran Tierney has come out to say that he had no problem while he played for the club. He recently had his say after completing his loan move to Real Sociedad, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he only left the club because he rarely played regular football last season, so there was no issue with the manager or the environment as a whole.
Tierney added that he sees himself playing regularly in Real Sociedad, and he intends to make good use of the opportunity.
His words, “I left because [Arsenal] last season I couldn’t play a lot and what I wanted was to play a lot of games and I wanted to try to do it at Real Sociedad. I don’t have any problem with Arsenal. Knowing that Real Sociedad wanted to have me here, feeling all the love from the people here was very good.”
“Being in the Basque Country, having the experience of living here and playing in La Liga, is something I am very proud of. I hope things will go very well for me here.”
His words.”
WOW.
