Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney admits he feels he's starting afresh at Real Sociedad.

The Scot has joined La Real on a straight loan.

He told The Sun: "It does feel like that a bit. I need to prove myself to Real Sociedad, to show why they brought me here and of course to the fans. It was the same when I broke through at Celtic and when I went to Arsenal.

"But I love the challenge. I'm trying to embrace everything here, the culture, the language. Learning the language as best I can is very important. It's about showing respect to everyone.

"The club have provided a tutor and while I'm with Scotland I'll be having Zoom lessons. I've got Spanish and Basque to learn. I'm loving it.

"In a few months I want to be able to have a proper conversation with the players in their language. That shows respect. Going abroad as a player, you should always want to do that."
