Tierny was born 5 June 1997 in Douglas, Isle of Man. Prior to joining Arsenal, Kieran Tierney played for Scottish Premiership's club, Celtic.

Kieran Tierney actually became a mainstay for the Scottish team at UEFA Euro 2020, but unfortunately the calf injury he suffered made him miss the first match when Scotland lost to the Czech Republic and possibly in the following matches.

Arsenal management is reportedly in talks with Tierney's agent regarding a contract extension for the player. The Gunners is claimed to want to keep Tierney in coach Mikel Arteta's squad.

Old Firm reported the Scottish footballer still has three years left on his current contract, but Arsenal are keen to offer the 24-year-old a long-term contract.

Later Tierney is predicted to replace Granit Xhaka's role as team captain. The reason is, Xhaka is close to the exit of the Emirates Stadium, which is widely reported to be close to AS Roma.
