Arsenal are named amongst other clubs to be keeping a close eye on tonight’s Champions League tie between Celtic and Bayern Munich.
It is claimed that as many as 17 Premier League sides will have scouts at the match, with the Scottish champions having a number of their stars being watched.
Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs is considering pushing his club to allow him to leave.
The left-back has lost his battle with Nacho Monreal for a first-team role under Arsene Wenger, and having picked up less than 400 match minutes in the league last term, is heavily considering his future.
Celtic have tied Kieran Tierney down to a new five-year contract this week, shunning any interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. The left-back enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season in the Scottish Premier League, earning a place in the division’s Team of the Year, and was linked with a potential move to the Premier League.
While the season has been a pretty tough one for Arsenal fans to take, apart from the happy bookend that were provided by us beating Jose Mourinho and Chelsea to win the Community Shield and then the implosion of Tottenham that allowed us to nip past them on the final day and retain our stranglehold in north London, it has probably been even worse for Kieran Gibbs.
