Scotland international, Kieran Tierney, has expressed excitement over his new long-term contract with Premier League club, Arsenal, which runs until the year 2026.
Tierney’s new long-term contract was announced in a statement released on the club’s website on Friday.

The former Celtic star will remain at the Emirates for the next five years after he wormed his way into the hearts of Mikel Arteta’s side.

The North London club revealed that the 24-year-old defender whose new contract expires in 2026 “is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.”

The new contract would serve as a reward for Tierney who played a huge role in Arsenal’s Emirates FA Cup triumph in his first season, setting up the winning goal in the semi-final, before again starring at Wembley in the final win over Chelsea.

Speaking to Arsenal’s website after his new extending his stay at the club, Tierney said, “It feels amazing, when the manager came to me and said that the club wanted to extend my deal and that they were so happy at how I’ve come on, it was amazing for me to hear,” Tierney told Arsenal’s website.

“I’ve worked so hard since I joined – I had a hard first season with injuries and Covid, but last season really picked up for me and the club have been brilliant with me. So I am more than happy to extend it… I am happy and more than happy to commit my future.”

Coach Mikel Arteta said, “This is great news for us today. As manager of the club, speaking on behalf of the coaching staff and the entire staff, it’s a pleasure to work with KT. His quality, energy, commitment and professionalism, not only on matchdays, but every day in training are always at such a high level.

“KT gives us so much extra strength both defensively and offensively and it’s great to know that he’ll be with us for the long term. Since his move from Celtic, his work ethic and quality has ensured that he is already one of most exciting players in the Premier League and a hugely important part of our team, both on and off the pitch.

“I know all the fans will join me, the players and staff in looking forward to seeing KT playing in an Arsenal shirt for a few more years!”
