"West Bromwich Albion" announces the acquisition of London's "Arsenal" left-back Kieran Gibbs. The amount paid for him is approximately 7 million pounds sterling.
The 27-year-old footballer, who completed the "Wimbledon" academy with the "Gunners" in 2004, has played 230 matches in the main team since then.
However, his English playing time was limited by frequent injuries, and he was eventually outperformed by Nacho Monreal, who arrived from Spain. Now that "Arsenal" has acquired Sead Kolasinac, it is time for Gibbs to seek new opportunities.
With only 18 months left on his contract, it was long believed that the defender would join the ranks of "Watford," but he failed to agree on personal contract terms with the team.
In the ranks of "West Brom," Gibbs will be able to make his debut immediately after the national team break, when Tony Pulis's players will face "Brighton & Hove Albion."
Here you go...
