I do not compare myself to anybody else, says Kieran Tierney

Yet despite comparisons to Liverpool’s Champions League winning left-back Andrew Robertson, Tierney admitted that he never compares himself to anybody else. The 22-year-old went on to admit that he just gives his 100% every game, because anything less than that would be an injustice to both Arsenal, his family and the chance that has been given to him.

"I just give 100 per cent. That is all I can do. It is the only goal I set for myself and I would be doing my family an injustice and the club an injustice if I didn’t give 100 per cent. I am just going to bring myself. I don’t compare myself to anybody else. As I said, I work 100 per cent every day. If it is good enough, it is good enough. If not, it’s not for a lack of trying,” Tierney told Arsenal.com.

"It is a massive change for me here. I was a homeboy, I always stayed with my parents, and I’ve come down here to a different country, a massive city. But so far everybody at the club has helped me settle and I am very grateful for that. People say what’s the city like? I have no idea, I’ve never been in. I train, I work hard, I go home and recover and train the next day.  It is just a simple life and I just put everything into football and all I can to just try to reap the rewards,” concluded Tierney.
