It was reported by Football.London earlier this week that the Cityzens are plotting revenge on the Gunners after allowing them to sign Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
As per ESPN, Pep Guardiola’s side are set to sign Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht but Football Insider claims that they are still in the market for a senior left-back.
As per Football Insider, Renan Lodi, Raphael Guerreiro, and Borna Sosa are all being monitored along with Tierney.
Noel Whelan has claimed that Arsenal might consider selling Tierney for the right price, with the Scotsman becoming second-choice behind summer signing Zinchenko.
However, Whelan has also mentioned the importance of having two quality options in the left-back position. He told Football Insider:
Whelan has claimed that even though Mikel Arteta would not want to lose his squad depth, he could consider selling Tierney if the price is right. He added:
Manchester City’s chances of landing Arsenal defender are fairly remote
Despite landing Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer, it is unlikely that the Gunners will entertain any offers for Tierney this summer.
Letting the Scotsman depart for Manchester City will effectively make them go back to square one as the purpose of bringing Zinchenko was to have enough depth.
Tierney has missed a total of 48 games since his move to the Emirates from Celtic back in 2019 but when fit, he is clearly one of the very best in his position.
If Arteta had plans to sell Tierney, he probably would not have allowed Nuno Tavares to join Marseille on loan.
It will probably be in Manchester City’s best interests if they shift their attention to alternate targets if they look to land an experienced left-back this summer.
