Every word of Mikel’s pre-Palace press conference
Mikel Arteta held his second pre-Crystal Palace press conference of the week at Sobha Realty Training Centre on Friday
on Kieran Tierney:
At the moment he’s here with us. I wouldn’t play a player that is thinking about leaving or is not committed to us, so he’s fully committed, he’s enjoying after a long period again with a really tough injury, so live the moment. He’s a big part of the squad now, he deserves to be in the squad and played really well after such a long time, so that’s the only thing I can say.
on if he wants to move in January:
He hasn’t come to me and said ‘I want to move.’ In the past if we have any doubts he came to me and said ‘I think it’s my time to move’ and this hasn’t been the case yet.
not saying that I have favourites but 🥺
