The future of Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney is becoming a little clearer this week.

The Scottish left-back is not in favor with manager Mikel Arteta, with Oleksandr Zinchenko starting for most of last season.

However, Football Transfers states that Tierney may get a reprieve due to a formation change.

The source believes that Arsenal will use a back three, which will give him a chance to play wing back.

While he is not seen as ideal in a back four, Tierney's explosiveness going forward makes him invaluable as a wing back on the left.

One who may find it tougher to get game time is Zinchenko, who does not quite fit into a back five system.
