After weeks of speculation the Scotland international finally completed a £25m move to the Emirates Stadium on transfer deadline day.

And the former Celtic man has already made an impression in north London after beating Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's standing jump record.

Tierney recorded a height of 55cm, 1cm more than his Gabonese team-mate.

The Scot's feat was all the more impressive given that he is set to miss the start of the season after undergoing a double hernia operation.
