Crystal Palace eye Kieran Gibbs

Arsenal may cash in on Kieran Gibbs should Crystal Palace come calling in January, reports the Daily Star.

The relegation battlers have been monitoring the left-back's situation and new manager Sam Allardyce could be tempted to make him his first signing at the club.

Gibbs' contract at Arsenal is up in June 2018 and Arsene Wenger may be tempted into a sale to avoid the possibility of losing the 27-year-old on a free.

The England international is behind Nacho Monreal in the Gunners' pecking order and would relish more first-team action under Allardyce at Selhurt Park.
