Real Sociedad in talks with Arsenal over deal for out of favour left-back

One of the key areas that Real Sociedad are looking to address in the remaining weeks of the transfer window is at left-back. Aihen Munoz is the only senior option for Imanol Alguacil, as Diego Rico has been allowed to leave the club.

La Real have been active in the English market of late, having been in discussions with Manchester United over a possible deal for midfielder Donny van de Beek, and Relevo have now reported that they are negotiating with Arsenal to sign Kieran Tierney.

Tierney is out of favour at Arsenal, seeing both Oleksander Zinchenko and Jurrien Timber ahead of him in the pecking order at left-back. He will be keen to secure first team football elsewhere, with Euro 2024 on the horizon for the Scottish international.

Tierney would be a very solid pickup for Real Sociedad. He has impressed on the international stage for Scotland, and he has had Champions League experience with Celtic, which will be valuable going into the new season.
