Arsenal have rejected a £10m bid from West Brom for Kieran Gibbs, according to Sky sources.

Sky sources reported earlier this week that Baggies boss Tony Pulis sees Gibbs as his best option at left-back this summer and had approached Arsenal to discuss a potential transfer.
Pulis, who is currently with his squad in Hong Kong for the Asia Trophy, has been looking for a specialist left-back.

Gibbs, 27, made just eight Premier League starts last season
and 22 appearances in all competitions overall - his second season struggling for first-team games.

Gibbs has 10 England caps but has fallen out of the national-team frame while his chances have been limited under Wenger.

Gibbs is a product of Arsenal's academy, who made his debut during the 2007/08 season after spending a short time on loan at Norwich City.

West Brom have so far made only two signings this summer; Jay Rodriguez from Southampton and Zhang Yuning from Vitesse but the 20-year-old has been loaned to Werder Bremen.
