Tony Pulis: 'West Bromwich Albion will not pursue Kieran Gibbs'

Tony Pulis reveals that West Bromwich Albion will not be making a move for Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs this summer.

Tony Pulis has confirmed that West Bromwich Albion will not be making a move for Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs this summer.

Last season, the 27-year-old made 22 appearances in all competitions but was limited to just eight starts in the Premier League as he acted as deputy to Nacho Monreal.

It was reported earlier this week that the Gunners have rejected a £10m bid from West Brom for Gibbs, who was not included in Arsene Wenger's squad for their pre-season tour to Australia and China.

However, speaking after Albion's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League Asia Trophy, Pulis admitted that his club will move on to other targets.

"We won't be signing Kieran Gibbs," Pulis told Sky Sports News. "We have to look for players that fit what we want to do and the way we want to play.

"We have three or four other targets we are desperate for. We are juggling with two at the moment and that's not Gibbs. Hopefully by the time we get back home we will have done those two."

Watford have also been linked with a move for Gibbs, who is rumoured to be valued in the region of £12m to £15m.
