Former Celtic ace Kieran Tierney will decide on his Arsenal future at the end of the season.

That's according to worldwide transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian states he expects the Premier League leaders to wait until the summer to allow any conversations about a transfer away or other possibilities for the Scotland international.

The left-back has really struggled for game time this season, with Manchester City import Oleksandr Zinchenko taking the starting spot more often than not.

In fact, KT has just four starts this season from his 26 appearances this term. That has led to increased speculation surrounding his future.

However, with Arsenal in the middle of a title battle with City for the Premier League crown, Mikel Arteta wants maximum focus from all of his players on maintaining that tilt. 

This means it looks likely that KT will need to wait until the summer to make any decisions on his future.

Romano told Caught Offside: "Tierney will decide his future at the end of the season, also Nuno Tavares on loan is another factor to consider.

"Arsenal want him to be 100 percent focused on the second part of the season, they’re not in talks with any club now."

Tierney joined Arsenal from Celtic in 2019 for a record Scottish transfer fee of £25million fee.

It is said that he is being monitored by Newcastle as they consider plotting a move.
