Life changing, massive and staggering!
Three phrases used within 69 words by The Sun to help convince Kieran Tierney that his career would be in tatters if he doesn’t start the new season playing for struggling London side Arsenal.
To help him out his wages have been added up with £70k a week turning into a staggering £4m a year which will be worth a life changing £20m over his five year contract. By the sound of it the deal will also be free of income tax and National Insurance which sounds similar to the contracts offered across Glasgow to entice Tore Andre Flo, Ronald de Boer, Alex Rae and Kris Boyd back in the day.
The Sun reports:
ARSENAL are willing to hand Kieran Tierney a life-changing £20?million contract. The Gunners are set to make a second bid for the Celtic defender — after SunSport revealed an opening £15m offer was rejected. Big-spending Emirates chiefs are also prepared to sanction a massive five-year deal for KT. Arsenal would be willing to pay the Scotland star £70k-plus per week in wages — a staggering £4m a year.
That will be the Arsenal that has just lost Aaron Ramsey to Juventus where he will pick up a LIFE CHANGING £400k a week.
When KT settles into life at The Emirates hopefully he’ll not get a look at the payslip of Mesut Ozil picks up £300,000 a week on a deal that runs until 2021
According to this article in The Mirror there are 19 Arsenal players picking up £70,000 a week or more, former Juventus defender Stephan Lichsteiner has been collecting a top line of £90,000 a week.
With just a couple of FA Cup wins celebrated at The Emirates since they departed Highbury the Gunners are on a clear downward spiral. With two years left to run on Ozil’s contract it’s not just Ramsey that wants weighed in for carrying the ‘home matches only’ German superstar.
