-

 There's been an interesting transfer development involving a Premier League side and another from La Liga.

It has been announced that Kieran Tierney has joined LaLiga side Real Sociedad on loan for the 2023/24 season.

Tierney moves to Sociedad

Scotland international defender Kieran joined them in August 2019 from Celtic and during his time with them, he has made 124 appearances in all competitions.

The 26-year-old enjoyed success in his first season with them, finishing the campaign by scoring his debut Arsenal goal in their 3-2 home victory against Watford on the final day of the Premier League season. This achievement was followed just days later, with Kieran starting in their 2-1 FA Cup Final triumph over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium. 

He later played an integral role in helping the club secure their fourteenth FA Cup title, a record-breaking feat.

Throughout his four seasons at the Emirates, Kieran also played a part in their FA Community Shield victories, winning against Liverpool in 2020 and more recently triumphing over Manchester City at Wembley.

Before signing for Arsenal, Tierney had an incredible period of success with his boyhood club Celtic, where he clinched four league titles, two Scottish FA Cups, and two Scottish League Cups during his four-year tenure after debuting at the age of 17. 

His exceptional performances in Glasgow led to him being named the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Throughout this season, Tierney will remain a key player for the Scotland national team and currently boasts 39 international caps for his country.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)
