Arsenal left back Kieran Tierney has ruled out a return to the club in January.

The Scotland international is very happy with his loan spell at Real Sociedad at present.

Tierney knew he was not in the plans of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and would rather play elsewhere.

He told Spanish newspaper Noticias de Gipuzkoa: "Several people have asked me about this but the answer is no.

“I am definitely staying here (in January). Arsenal fans are great, they always gave me a lot of support.

“During the four years I was there, I will always be grateful to the fans.

“I don't want to speak badly about the Premier League because there are some great atmospheres, but in Spain it really is amazing.

“If you hear fans from Osasuna and Cadiz, they don't stop singing. It is great here."
