Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney jokes that he was at a local park when he got a call about his move being complete.

The Scottish left back made a deadline day move to the Premier League giants from Celtic.

When asked about how he spent the past 24 hours before the finalising of the move, Kierney said the following to the club's official website: "Well I got told at seven o'clock last night that I had to be at the airport in an hour, so I had to go quickly.

"I was actually down the park with my friends training. They play with their local team so I was down watching them and I got a phone call that I needed to go.

"I got to the airport and the flight was delayed two-and-a-half hours, with another hour's drive for a hotel and I probably got zero sleep, so I was back up at half five today."
