Aston Villa have jumped into the battle for Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney.

The Scotland international is set to leave the Gunners, having lost his first-choice status to Oleks Zinchenko this season.

Newcastle United are launching a bid for Tierney, but face competition from Villa, says The Times.

The 25-year-old has held talks with manager Mikel Arteta and has come to the conclusion that it is best to move on in his career.

Tierney's Arsenal deal runs to 2026.
