OFFICIAL: Tierney leaves Arsenal, joins Real Sociedad on loan

Real Sociedad are have been making moves to build a competitive squad as they look to challenge in La Liga and go far as they return to the Champions League.

The Spanish club announced on Sunday night that they had signed left-back Kieran Tierney on loan from Arsenal for the 2023-24 season.

The Scottish international was likely interested in Imanol Alguacil's project as it presented an opportunity to see game time in the top European competition this season.

Having fallen down the pecking order at Emirates under Mikel Arteta, the former Celtic defender can fight for a place as a starter in La Liga.

However, it has been reported that the loan contract does not mention any option to buy Tierney, meaning he will most likely return to north London following his spell in Spain
