Kieran Gibbs Archives: 08/2017

Kieran Gibbs and Francis Coquelin both played for Arsenal U23s as the Gunners defeated Derby 3-2.

Arsenal have reportedly switched their transfer focus away from trying to sign Thomas Lemar from Monaco to offloading unwanted players already at the club.

Arsene Wenger believes that selling Arsenal’s deadwood this summer will help improve the ‘mental climate’ at the club.

West Brom are reportedly still interested in signing Kieran Gibbs after they were rumoured to have dropped their interest, but the defender will have to lower his apparent wage demands.

Watford have reportedly withdrawn their interest in Kieran Gibbs because Arsenal are asking for £16m.

Arsenal could sell up to eight more players from the first-team squad before they bring in any more new signings this summer.

The transfer window shuts on 31 August, which gives Arsenal about 25 days to wrap up a number of deals but what do they need to do?

Charlie Nicholas has said that Arsenal must follow Chelsea’s example and reduce their squad size. 

The 2017/18 season is less than a fortnight away but Arsenal still need to answer several key questions before it kicks off.

Arsenal’s attempted summer clear-out has been hampered by their players refusing to accept less money elsewhere.
