REAL SOCIEDAD want Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney to help launch their Champions League challenge.
But the Spanish minnows are unlikely to succeed with their audacious move as they are only looking to sign the Scottish international on loan.
And while Arsenal are ready to listen to offers in the region of £30million for 26-year-old Tierney, they are not believed to be interested in a loan deal.
Socieded will be playing in the Champions League for only the third time in their history after finishing fourth in La Liga last season.
And they are hoping the fact that Mikel Arteta was born in San Sebastian and grew up supporting the club will help their cause.
