Arsenal tried so sign Junior Firpo as Tierney's backup: Fabrizio Romano
  • It looks like the Gunners did make an attempt to secure another left-back this January after Sead Kolasinac joined Schalke.
  • Fabrizio Romano reports that Arsenal inquired about Junior Firpo from Barcelona, along with AC Milan.
  • However, the young left-back stayed put for two reasons: personal problems and Barca's inability to source a replacement.
  • Milan have Theo Hernandez as the indisputable first-choice right now, and he's only 23, which makes Firpo's chances to play slim.
  • It'll be interesting to see whether the Gunners come back for Firpo in summer or whether they'll look elsewhere.
  • He does fit the bill of a young understudy to Tierney the Gunners are reportedly looking for.
