# Arsenal supporters praise Raul Sanllehi after agreeing Kieran Tierney deal

Arsenal look set to land long-term target Kieran Tierney after the two sides finally agreed on a deal for the left-back.

The Scot will now undergo a medical in London on Thursday, with personal terms not expected to be an issue ahead of a proposed move.

The 22-year-old has been heavily tipped to move to the Emirates this summer, and it appears as if Unai Emery will finally get his man before the window closes.

The news regarding a deal broke late on Wednesday night, with many Arsenal supporters taking to social media to share their delight.

Plenty of Gunners supporters picked out Head of Football Raul Sanllehi for specific praise, with a selection of tweets available to view below.

### Read Arsenal verdict

The praise Sanllehi is getting from the majority of Gunners fans is fully deserved, especially after agreeing on a deal with Celtic for Tierney.

The left-back will more than likely prove to be the answer to Emery’s left-back issues, and at £25 million in today’s market, a move could turn out to be one of the deals of the window.

Along with reinforcements in midfield and attack, as well as likely incomings at centre-back, this could well be one of Arsenal’s best-ever transfer windows, all thanks to the business expertise of Sanllehi.
