Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is prepared to see Kieran Tierney sold this summer.

The Sun says with Arsenal going flat out to win their first Premier League title since 2004, Tierney has made it clear that he is not going to rock the boat and will continue to give 100 percent commitment.

And despite his shortage of recent minutes - his last league start came on Boxing Day - his transfer value has nevertheless increased on the back of his first three seasons at the Emirates.

It was on Arteta's recommendation that the player was rewarded with a new five-year contract.

But his £100,000-a-week wages will limit the number of potential buyers and Arsenal could be reluctant to sell him to Newcastle if they are going to be regarded as potential top four rivals.

Arteta, though, is unlikely to stand in the way of his departure as he has both Takehiro Tomiyasu and recent signing Jakub Kiwior who can act as back-up to Oleks Zinchenko.

Nuno Tavares has also been a surprise success since joining Marseilles on loan this season but is unlikely to return to the Emirates and will probably be sold in the summer.
