Tierney nears new Arsenal deal

Kieran Tierney is close to signing a new five-year contract with Arsenal, one that would tie up the Scotland international's future at the Emirates Stadium until 2026.

The Isle of Man-born left-back has been a key figure for the Gunners since his arrival in 2019, impressing across successive campaigns for Mikel Arteta's side.

Now, the 24-year-old - who is currently on Euro 2020 duty with his country - looks set to be rewarded with a bumper long-term deal, and hopes it will be finalised in the coming days.

Barca to pass on Merino

Barcelona will pass up on a potential move for Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino as they are unwilling to meet the club's release clause, per Marca.

They are looking for a central midfield option with increased urgency after Georginio Wijnaldum's potential transfer was hijacked by Paris Saint-Germain.

But it will reportedly not be for Spain international Merino, who started Sociedad's 2019-20 Copa del Rey final triumph earlier this year.
