Matt Macey reveals the Arsenal player who advised him to leave for Scottish side, Hibernian

Macey has completed a move to Scottish side, Hibernian until the end of this season.

The 26-year-old has revealed it was his Arsenal team-mate, Tierney, who told him to make the switch. 

Tierney is a Scotland international and came through the ranks at Celtic before joining Arsenal for £25million in the summer of 2019.

“I spoke to Kieran Tierney at length about the opportunity to come to Hibs, about Scottish football and the country in general,” Macey said.

“Kieran was really positive about every aspect of it, whether it was the club or Edinburgh itself.

“As I said, I was already keen to come but it was good to hear him talk so enthusiastically about it all. He backed up the gut feeling I had.

“Kieran’s someone I have a lot of time for and he’s probably one of the first names on the team-sheet – if not the first – at Arsenal just now.”

Macey had been with Arsenal since 2013
