HOW ARSENAL LANDED AN INJURED PLAYER ON DEADLINEDAY
Scottish left-back, Kieran Tierney completed a £25million switch from Celtic on transfer deadline day, signing a long-term deal at the club and taking the No.3 shirt.
Tierney spoke of his delight at the move, and added that he hopes to be back in action soon.
“It feels great,” he said . I’m delighted to be here.
“Obviously I’m injured now, but I’m just looking forward to getting back on the pitch, training and getting involved with the squad.
“I had a double hernia operation in the summer. I’m just getting back fit now, I’m just getting back involved with a ball and back running. So hopefully it’s not going to be too long.
“It’s been fine for me. I’ve been working hard in rehab and I’ve had good people around me as well. It’s been easy for me.
“At Celtic I was training hard, working hard and just looking to get back fit. That was my main focus.
“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.”
