West Bromwich Albion are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs.

According to reports from Sky Sports, West Bromwich Albion have approached Arsenal about a deal for Kieran Gibbs.

However, the Baggies are unwilling to meet Arsenal’s £10 million valuation of the player.

Left back is one area where West Brom will be looking to strengthen. Tony Pulis is looking for a natural left-footed player for that role, and have reportedly approached the Gunners for Gibbs.

The 27-year-old has come up through the ranks of Arsenal, and has almost 250 appearances for the Gunners to his name.

The England international managed only 18 starts in all competitions last season, with Arsene Wenger using Nacho Monreal as the club’s first choice left-back.

With Sead Kolasinac arriving on a free transfer from Schalke earlier this summer, Gibbs has become surplus to the requirements at the club.

Arsene Wenger is planning a significant exodus of players from the squad this summer, and the Frenchman is willing to let Gibbs leave at the right price.
