Arsenal have put together a very impressive run of form in recent months, now looking like strong favourites to secure a top four finish in the weeks ahead.
It took a while, Mikel Arteta has really established an identity within the side. It is one largely crafted around younger players, with a number of key personalities coming to the fore.
Kieran Tierney is chief amongst them.
Signed from Celtic for a fee of around £25million in the summer of 2019, he has always been viewed as a strong character at the club. However, he has really taken things to the next level this season.
Apparently, his form is now attracting some glances from the continent.

Real Madrid linked with move for Kieran Tierney
The Sunday Post are reporting that Real Madrid are eyeing a £50million move for Kieran Tierney this summer, having been massively impressed with his during recent scouting trips.
Carlo Ancelotti is thought to be a big fan of the player, attempting to sign him for Napoli from Celtic a few years ago. It is claimed that the club's chief scout, Juni Calafat, has become infatuated with Tierney having originally scouted Arsenal games to keep an eye on Bukayo Saka.
Real Madrid are likely to be in the market for a new left back this summer, with Marcelo nearing the end of his time in the Spanish capital. Ferland Mendy has started the majority of their fixtures in that position, although some remain unsure about his long-prospects at the club.
Tierney would certainly be an interesting solution, although how willing Arsenal are to discuss any potential deal remains to be seen. Despite being only 24-years old, he is very much one of the senior players in the dressing room under Mikel Arteta.
