New deal for Gibbs

England Under-21 international Kieran Gibbs has signed a new long-term contract extension with Arsenal.

Last season proved a breakthrough for the 19-year-old left-back, who stood in for injured Gael Clichy during the closing weeks of the campaign and played in both the semi-finals of the FA Cup and Champions League – recovering from what proved a costly slip against Manchester United early during the second leg to go on and represent England at the European Under-21 Championships in Sweden last month.
