Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is closing in on a loan move to Real Sociedad.
The 26-year-old has not featured in either of the Gunners’ Premier League games so far this season, and would likely play a limited role if he did stay at the Emirates.
He has played 124 games for the club since signing in 2019 and has been an important squad player despite suffering with injuries at times.
Arsenal are keen to sell the left back permanently, but Sociedad are currently only looking at a loan move.
The Gunners’ are hoping the deal can include an obligation to buy at the end of the season.

Tierney was also briefly linked with a move to Newcastle, before they opted to go for Chelsea’s Lewis Hall instead.
His boyhood club Celtic were in the hunt at one point, but the potential move appears to have fizzled out.
Arsenal have started the season well without quite playing at their best, picking up one goal wins against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Palace.
They will next be in action against Fulham, who have taken a win and a loss from their opening two games, on Saturday.
