Kieran Tierney
Kieran Tierney has been a key figure at Arsenal for the last three years that he has been at the club and the fans love him for his high work rate and technical ability. Mikel Arteta has been a huge admirer of the left-back because he always relies on him to get the best results and serve the team expecting nothing significant in return. Recently, he penned a new contract with the club that extended his tenure up to 2026, and his reaction after signing the contract showed how proud he was of being an Arsenal player.
During a tik tok Q&A session with the fans, Tierney talked about his life at Arsenal and had the following to say, "My best mate at Arsenal would be Rob Holding, he helped me a lot when I first came, so I'm grateful for that. Also now Jack Wilshere is training with us, I've been very close with him. He is a great person both as a person and as a player.
Academy Chelsea Record
Chelsea's senior squad might be a bit superior to Arsenal's but when it comes to comparing the Academies, Arsenal's Hale End is at a higher level than Chelsea's Cobham. In terms of the infrastructure, there is a slight disparity with Arsenal's being the better one, but that is not really important because the amount of talent streaming into the respective Academies is almost the same. The quality of players however is a huge distinction and Arsenal's side has proven to be superior on more than one occasion.
In the last three outings this season, the aggregate results between the two Academies have been Hale End 13- Cobham 3. Hopefully in the next few seasons or so, Arsenal's senior squad will bridge that gap between them and Chelsea and emulate the level of their current Academy.
Gabriel Magalhaes
Gabriel Magalhaes has been Arsenal's shining armor and Arsenal's take-off in the league can be heavily credited to the Brazilian's defensive dominance in the backline. His involvement in the first eleven has never been questioned and that shows that the club fully entrusts him with the objectives and endeavors geared towards improving the team.
