Reports claim Arteta is keen to keep Tierney and sees him as an important squad member. But Newcastle are reportedly interested and a move back nearer his Glasgow home could be attractive.

Pepe and Tierney were two of the bigger signings Emery made. Pepe remains a club-record signing following his £72million switch from Lille in 2019, while Tierney signed from Celtic for around £25m.

Two of the more understated signings during Emery's era were Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba, although the latter did cost £27m. Saliba didn't play a single minute under the former boss and didn't make his debut until last August.

Both Players have become crucial members of Arteta's team this season. And there is a real chance they could soon become the last two standing from Emery's 12 acquisitions.
