Arsenal fullback Tierney: I'm enjoying Real Sociedad

Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney admits that going out on loan was an easy choice for him to make.

Tierney left the Gunners and joined Spanish outfit Real Sociedad on loan this summer.

The Scotland international has been an Arsenal player since 2019, after leaving Celtic, but is not first choice under Mikel Arteta.

Speaking to the Daily Record, the Scotland star said: “I am in a really good place now. I'm enjoying it over there in Spain.

“I was buzzing to get the move done, buzzing to come away with Scotland as always and we have another game against England before I return to the Basque region again.

“I am really enjoying it. Was it a hard decision? No, it was an easy decision. It was a big decision, but an easy decision.

“Clearly, it's a big change for me. Culturally, the league, the language, everything is different. But I think you have to embrace it and put yourself in uncomfortable positions sometimes."
