Kieran Tierney is reportedly preparing to depart from Arsenal at the conclusion of the season. Due to injuries, he has faced challenges in securing playing time at the Emirates Stadium, and with his contract set to expire next summer, Arsenal has not moved to extend his deal, increasing the likelihood of his departure. Chelsea is reportedly planning an unexpected deal with Arsenal for Tierney. The Athletic reported that the deadline for Arsenal to activate the option to extend his contract by an additional year has passed, which clears the path for his exit. Furthermore, there is a chance that Tierney might leave as early as January if an opportunity presents itself, as Chelsea is keen to acquire him.
