He stated that they have been closely monitoring the player, as have other clubs, and it is satisfying to be able to secure a player of his caliber, versatility, and tremendous potential for their squad.

Kieran Tierney has attracted interest from Newcastle
Last week, We News announced that Newcastle is still interested in acquiring Kieran Tierney, the full-back from Arsenal. In the recent season opener against Nottingham Forest, the 26-year-old was excluded from the matchday squad.
Adding to the complications is the recent injury of Jurrien Timber, one of Arsenal's new signings, who is expected to be out for a significant period due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in the 2-1 victory against Forest. Nonetheless, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta subtly suggested during his press conference before the Monday Night Football match against Crystal Palace that the Scotland international remains a valuable asset in his future plans.
"He played the [Community Shield] final, no? A player that plays five days before in the final is part of the plans, for sure.
"I hope so [he is disappointed to be left out of league squad]."

Trevoh Chalobah is expected to be out for a few more weeks with a hamstring problem.
Chelsea's centre-back was forced to leave the field during a pre-season match against Fulham in the USA. After a complete evaluation, it has been determined that Chalobah's injury is not significant. It is anticipated that he will recover completely before the transfer window closes, potentially paving the way for a move in late August.
Chalobah's future has been uncertain this summer, with huge competition for places in Mauricio Pochettino's plans.
The club have two left-footed centre-backs in Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill.
Chalobah is receiving interest from other clubs, and there is a possibility that Chelsea may consider offers in the remaining weeks of the transfer window. According to reports from Sky in Italy, he is among the names being considered by Inter Milan, along with several other centre-backs from the Premier League.
