Kieran came through the Arsenal ranks as a winger but has since made his senior England debut as a left back.
Arsène Wenger moved Kieran into the back four after he returned from a loan spell with Norwich in 2008 and it proved to be a masterstroke.
Kieran has all the attributes required to be a world-class full back - pace, intelligence, anticipation and sound technique. And his natural attacking instincts make him a valuable outlet when Arsenal go forward.
Kieran has been an able deputy for Gael Clichy in recent seasons and will want to make the left back role his own after returning from a long-term injury.
