Unai Emery has been left embarrassed by Arsenal’s decision to end their interest in Kieran Tierney.

After a month of deflection and selective leaks to deflect supporters from their diminishing importance, last night word emerged from London that Tierney wouldn’t be moving to Arsenal.

As recently as the weekend Emery was telling fans to be patient as the club worked on his high profile transfer preferences- Tierney, Wilfried Zaha and William Saliba.

Metro reported:

Really I am with patience because we want to choose the best solution. ‘Some players are very expensive and we are waiting for this possibility. We don’t want now to go to the second line of players

The costs of the players on the B list has now gone up, meanwhile a deal appears close to be agreed with St Etienne that will see Saliba loaned back for a season, Crystal Palace aren’t interested in a half price Zaha fee that will see 25% of their profit head to Manchester United while Tierney is more likely to turn out for The Bullfrog than the third best team in London.

This morning the headlines for Arsenal fans and Emery make for grim reading. They range from ‘Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney deal hits impasse’ to ‘Arsenal consider Kieran Tierney alternatives‘ which makes a change from tales of how they are about to launch a second, third or fourth bid for the defender.

At no stage has Tierney angled for a transfer, he hasn’t demanded a ‘dream/ lifechanging’ move, all he wants is to get back to full fitness, return to the Celtic side and add to his medal collection alongside Scott Brown.
