Kieran Gibbs made 11 appearances for Arsenal during the 2016-17 Premier League season.
His career in the English club has been a forgettable one as the English defender never truly managed to make an impact at the Emirates Stadium despite being a player of Arsenal since the season of 2006-07.
For the majority of Kieran Gibbs´ playing career as an Arsenal player, he has mostly had to settle with a spot on the sidelines.
On June 6 of 2017, Arsenal completed their 1st summer signing of 2017 by securing the services of the 20 year old Bosnian left-back SeadKolasinac and this is bad news for Kieran Gibbs as his influence at the Emirates Stadium will probably be diminished further than it already is.
It´s rumored that Newcastle United, Stoke City and Watford are all interested in signing Kieran Gibbs but the problem that they have faced is the price tag of the 27 year old defender who has been on the sidelines for most of his career.
The price tag of Kieran Gibbs is £15 million and it appears to be just too much for the previously mentioned interested clubs. Arsenal might have to lower the asking price for Gibbs if they want to let him go during the current 2017 summer transfer window.
Another thing that the potential next destination club of Kieran Gibbs has to take into consideration is the fact that he is earning £60,000 each week with Arsenal and the English defender is rumored to want a higher salary if he leaves the Emirates Stadium, whether or not those clubs are willing to offer a better wage is something that remains to be seen but it´s something worth taking notice of.
