Mikel Arteta sends a message to Kieran Tierney ahead of Euro 2020

Kieran Tierney returned to action ahead of schedule following injury.

The Gunners left-back has thanked Arteta for helping to take his game to another level and shine for Scotland in the Euros.

Mikel Arteta has urged him to enjoy the experience and make the very most of it.

Tierney told the Sun: “I had a meeting with the Arsenal manager and he just told me, ‘Go and express yourself with Scotland, enjoy yourself, bring energy to the team, bring energy to the camp’.

“He’s always so supportive of me, and tremendously positive. The manager always brings the best out of me.

“With regards Scotland for the Euros he also said, ‘Give everything you have, that’s how you get the best out of yourself, and it will help the team the most’.”

“I listen to everything the manager tells me, word for word. I love working with him, he’s helped me massively,” Tierney said.

“If you can see the differences in my game in the last 18 months or so it’s because of Mikel Arteta and what his coaching staff have been telling me to do.

“I’ve been working on their advice every day. I’m really grateful for what the gaffer’s done for me.”
