Scotland's own Kieran Tierney, born on June 5, 1997, is a skilled defender with a primary position as left back for Arsenal. Standing at a height of 5ft 10in (approximately 1.78m), and with a weight of 11st 13lb (about 76kg), he is a formidable figure on the pitch. His jersey is consistently adorned with the number 3.
Currently, Tierney's market value is estimated around €10.00m, which equates to roughly £8.5m, according to the information presented by Transfermarkt. He appears to be in a substantial commitment with Arsenal as his contract, set to expire on 30 June 2026, still has about 1 year and 7 months to run its course.
In July 2014, Tierney joined the Scottish Premiership, signing with Celtic. His first season (2014 - 2015) at Celtic saw him make only two first team appearances in league matches. Not a dramatic start, by any means, but Tierney proved himself a bloke not easily discouraged. In fact, he fervently ramped up his game. By the 2015 - 2016 season, he'd made 23 first team appearances and impressed with a single goal. In the 2016 - 2017 season, Tierney repeated his previous year's performance with 24 appearances and a goal. However, it was in the 2017 - 2018 season where fans saw a marked improvement in his scoring ability, with Tierney making 32 first team appearances and netting three goals. In the 2018 - 2019 season, he maintained his consistent appearance rate with 21 first team league matches.
Come August 2019, Tierney bid adieu to the Scottish Premiership and Celtic, transferring to Arsenal in the Premier League for a not insignificant fee of around £25m. From the get-go, he demonstrated his worth with 15 first team appearances and a goal in his debut season (2019 - 2020) with Arsenal. The subsequent seasons saw consistent performances with Tierney making 27, 22, 27 appearances, and scoring once in the 2020 - 2021, 2021 - 2022, and 2022 - 2023 seasons, respectively. However, the current season (2024 - 2025) has yet to see Tierney on the field.
The 2023 - 2024 season brought an unexpected turn for Tierney as he transferred from Arsenal to Real Sociedad in Spain's LaLiga, albeit on loan. Despite the change in league and country, Tierney held his own, making 20 first team appearances in league matches.
Upon the closure of his loan period, Tierney returned to Arsenal in June 2024. Back in England, he continued his previous performances – appearing 15 times and scoring once in the 2019 - 2020 season; making 27 appearances with a goal in the 2020 - 2021 season; continuing the scoring trend with 22 appearances and a goal in the 2021 - 2022 season; and keeping up the appearances with 27 in the 2022 - 2023 season. Alas, the current 2024 - 2025 season has yet to see Tierney make a first team appearance in league matches.
