Kieran Tierney, born on 5 June 1997 in Scotland, is a versatile defender adept at the left back position. As of the time of writing, Tierney plies his trade for Arsenal, adorning the number 3 jersey. With a notable height of approximately 5ft 10in (1.78m) and weighing around 11st 13lb (76kg), Tierney is as much a presence physically as he is technically on the pitch. Beyond his club commitments, Tierney has also been part of the Scotland national team.

At present, his market value stands roughly at £8.5m as stated by Transfermarkt. His current contract with Arsenal has a remaining duration of three months and is set to culminate on 30 June 2025.

But one must not forget Tierney's journey prior to Arsenal. The Scott began his professional career at the heart of Glasgow, with Celtic Football Club. His Premiership debut came in July 2014. In his nascent season of 2014 - 2015, Tierney was slowly integrated into the first-team fold, making two league appearances.

It wasn't until the 2015 - 2016 season that Tierney truly announced himself at Celtic, featuring 23 times and netting once in the league. He further cemented his place in the first team over subsequent seasons, to the point where in the 2017 - 2018 season, he was turning out a remarkable 32 times in the league and contributing three goals. Come the season of 2018 - 2019, Tierney, a consistent performer, managed 21 league appearances.

A significant turning point in Tierney's career arrived in August 2019 when he transferred to Arsenal for an approximate fee of £25m. From his inaugural 2019 - 2020 season to the current 2024 - 2025 season, Tierney has been an integrated part of Arsenal, making over 15 league appearances in each season.

An interesting chapter of his career took him to Spanish soil in August 2023 when he joined Real Sociedad in LaLiga on a loan deal. During his stint, he made 20 league appearances. However, in June 2024, Tierney returned to Arsenal on the cessation of his loan period.

To add depth to his impressive career resume, Tierney has also participated in FA Cup, League Cup, Euro tournaments and Champions League seasons for Arsenal, as well as Euro qualifiers and the Nations League for Scotland, in the seasons ranging from 2022 to 2025.

Looking at the breadth and depth of Kieran Tierney's career, it's clear the Scot, born on Scottish soil, moulded in the fervent Celtic atmosphere and cultured in the demanding English Premier League and Spanish LaLiga, represents a blend of skill, experience and indefatigable spirit that makes him a gem of football today.
