Reports suggest that Arsenal are willing to consider appropriate offers for both Granit Xhaka and Kieran Tierney during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Arsenal’s transfer plans for the upcoming summer window have been revealed, with reports suggesting that the club will entertain appropriate bids for Granit Xhaka and Kieran Tierney. The duo, who were integral to the Gunners’ 2019-20 FA Cup triumph, have had contrasting seasons under Mikel Arteta.
Xhaka, who was initially thought to be on his way out of the Emirates following a high-profile falling-out with fans in 2019, has enjoyed a stunning resurgence under Arteta’s tutelage. The Switzerland captain has formed an impressive midfield partnership with Thomas Partey, and has become one of the first names on the team sheet this season.
Tierney, on the other hand, has struggled with injuries and has lost his place in the starting XI to Oleksandr Zinchenko. Despite being a fan favourite, the Scottish left-back could be on his way out of the club in search of regular game time.
According to the Daily Mail , Arsenal are open to offers for both players ahead of the 2023-24 campaign. This could come as a surprise to some fans, given Xhaka’s importance to the team and the fact that Tierney is widely regarded as one of the best left-backs in the league.
However, it appears that Mikel Arteta is planning another significant overhaul of his squad, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles already set to leave the club when his contract expires in June.
It remains to be seen whether any clubs will make a move for Xhaka or Tierney, but Arsenal fans will be watching with interest as the summer transfer window approaches.
