Kieran Gibbs offer rejected:

West Ham United, the city rivals of Arsenal were linked with a move for Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs.

The experienced full-back has fallen out of favor to Nacho Monreal at the Emirate and is reportedly unsettled at the club. West Ham United, who are looking for a replacement for Aaron Cresswell, who is out injured for a long time, reportedly made an approach for a loan deal for the player to take him to the Olympic stadium this summer.

But it was revealed later in the day that Wenger rejected a deal and is happy to keep Gibbs at his disposal in the next season.
