KIERAN TIERNEY has again mocked the fiercest weather Britain can offer.

The left-back donned his traditional extreme-weather gear of T-shirt and shorts as Storm Eunice whipped up 100mph winds in Arsenal training.

Team-mates layered up, some in gloves and hats, ahead of Saturday's home Premier League clash with Brentford.

But Tierney showed no fear of the freeze ahead of the Bees, having previously worn a similar outfit in snow and the bitter cold.

He smiled through a blizzard in a T-shirt at the Gunners' Colney training ground In January last year

And a month later he proved there's no place like Rome to prove your weather-beating skills.

Arsenal and Benfica players wrapped up well for a Europa League clash at Roma's Stadio Olimpico – except for Tierney in a pink T-shirt.

The Scot's fellow full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu hopes to get a close-up look at Tierney's storm-proof prowess by returning from injury this weekend.

The Japan star should be back after two weeks out with a calf injury.

Gunners' boss Mikel Arteta has ruled out catching Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

But the Spaniard has stressed how important to finish best of the rest.

He said: "For the best teams that win and play in the Champions League, that’s a non-negotiable."

Arteta added: “Our creative attacking play has improved, but more has to improve. Our efficiency in front of goal must improve.”
