Tierney questions where he fits at Arsenal

Kieran Tierney has questioned whether he fits into the system of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

The left-back is currently on-loan with Real Sociedad.

“At Arsenal the left-back can be one of the most central players in the team," he told the Daily Mail. “If it's Oleksandr Zinchenko then he is one of the biggest creators from a central position.

“When that got introduced it was alien to me. I had never played centre midfield, I started as a winger. I was trying to learn that when I was at Arsenal.

“When you see how well it works it is hard to question it. My choice was to just get on with it and learn and I got to practise it with one of the best. It's so natural to Zinchenko, he makes it look so easy."
