Kieran Tierney hasn’t even played a game for Arsenal yet, but he has already managed to become a fan favourite.
The Scot has been very active on social media after joining from Celtic over the summer, engaging with supporters and generally making himself known among the fan base.
In the modern-day Premier League, fans can feel isolated from their favourite players, such is the celebrity stardom that follows them.
However, one fan, who has started an Arsenal supporters group on social media, took to Twitter to show how Tierney himself has gone above and beyond to connect himself with supporters.

What a great addition Tierney is proving himself to be.
It’s hard to remember a signing that has created this much excitement among a fan base before he has even been declared fit to play!
The left-back position has been a problem area at Arsenal for some time and they have managed to replace him with not only a quality defender but a player who seems to really care about the club he has joined.
As previously mentioned, it’s easy for these Premier League stars to seem a million miles away with the huge sums of money being earned, but the way Tierney is giving back to supporters already is making him a real favourite.
