A decision over the Arsenal future of Kieran Tierney will reportedly be made by the end of this week.

A decision on Kieran Tierney's Arsenal future will reportedly be made by the end of the week.

Since joining the Gunners from Celtic in August 2019, Tierney has gone on to make 123 appearances, registering five goals and 14 assists.

However, he has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer.

As a result, the Scotland international was restricted to just six Premier League starts for Mikel Arteta's side during the 2022-23 campaign.

Despite having three years left to run on his contract, Tierney has been linked with a move away due to his lack of playing time.

According to Football Insider, Tierney's future with the North London club will become clearer by the end of the week.

The full-back is expected to hold discussions with Arteta this week to establish whether he will stay or head through the exit door.

Should Tierney leave Arsenal this summer, he is not expected to be short of suitors, with a number of clubs believed to be showing an interest.

Newcastle United have been linked with the 26-year-old, as they look to sign a new left-back ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

After achieving a top-four finish last term, Eddie Howe's side can offer Champions League football for next season.

Meanwhile, a recent report suggested that Tierney is open to a return to Celtic following the appointment of Brendan Rodgers.

Tierney spent three seasons playing under Rodgers at Celtic Park, before the 50-year-old left his position to take over the reins at Leicester City in February 2019.

The defender, who has earned 38 caps for Scotland, has also been linked with Aston Villa and the reigning European champions Manchester City.
