KIERAN TIERNEY’S edging closer to an Arsenal exit after Mikel Arteta left the Scotland star out of his match-day squad for today’s big Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest.
SunSport understands the £25 million Scotland star IS fit but simply hasn’t made the cut for Arteta whose decision has sent a clear signal over the defender’s future prospects.
Newcastle United are front-runners for the 26-year-old while Spanish outfit Real Sociedad have also declared their interest.
SunSport revealed that Tierney had left the door open for a sensational return to first club Celtic and boss Brendan Rodgers last month publicly refused to rule out a swoop.
