Arsenal FC left-back is a massive fan of fellow Irishman Conor McGregor
Arsenal FC need a lot of work to do ahead of the 2021-22 EPL Season. The North-London based football club finished 8th last season and missed out on European spots.
With a beyond-crucial transfer window coming up, Arteta will be looking forward to handpicking a talisman who could probably change the fortunes of the club.
And, with the new season just a month away, Arsenal and Scotland left-back Kieran Tierney took time off to answer a truckload of fan questions in a Twitter Q&A session.
He was asked, at what position his mate and UFC icon Conor McGregor could possibly play for Arsenal.
Tierney answered that the ‘Notorious’ would do very well as a centre-back and instil fear in the minds of the opponents. The Scot claimed that McGregor had a penchant for goal-scoring, as well.
“Centre half. No nonsense. Put the fear in everyone. Seen him upfront as well, great goal scorer. Can do it all.”
Conor McGregor and Kieran Tierney
McGregor and Tierney have been mates for quite a long time. McGregor has very often spoken about the admiration he had for the hard-working Scot.
The pair first met at an event in Belfast, Ireland. Tierney claims to be the biggest Conor McGregor fanboy.
McGregor was once spotted wearing a Tierney, Celtic Jersey to a training session. Speaking about it Tierney exclaimed (back then) that he couldn’t sleep that whole night and was buzzing.
