Arsenal had to dig deep for their FA Cup win against Newcastle today but it was neither extra time scorers who got the plaudits. Instead, Arsenal fans infatuation with the former Celtic defender grows as they continue to realise what a steal they got.
After their 2-0 cup win, so many on Twitter were raving about their defender who can attack as well as he can defend.
Kieran Tierney has created more chances from open play in all competitions for Arsenal this season than any other player – 22.

Celtic sold their Lennoxtown prodigy two seasons ago for a record-breaking transfer fee. However, as we see the player dazzle and do his best down south, there are many fans who believe Celtic should have asked for more.
The good thing for the bhoys is they have a sell-on clause and if Kieran keeps playing like this, he is going to outgrow Arsenal in the near future.
If Arsenal continues to go nowhere under Arteta, there will be clubs looking at Kieran who are challenging for titles. For any Arsenal fans who doubt he could leave the Emirates; he left Celtic, he will certainly not hesitate to leave Arsenal in the future if the right deal comes along.
