The versatile left-back has struggled for regular match action at the Emirates.

He managed just 11 Premier League appearances last term and his future at the club looks in doubt.

The Mirror say Newcastle are sniffing around as they look to bolster their squad.

And Gibbs is available for just £8m given that he only has 12 months remaining on his contract.

Rafa Benitez guided the Toon back to the Premier League at the first attempt last season.

But he needs reinforcements if they're to survive back in the top flight.

Gibbs' first-team opportunities at Arsenal now look even more limited.

Arsene Wenger swooped for Sead Kolasinac last month who also plays on the left flank.

The Mirror reckon Newcastle are serious suitors for Gibbs - but his wage demands could be a sticking point.

The England international earns a reported £70,000-per-week in north London.

Since progressing though the Arsenal youth ranks, Gibbs has made 137 appearances for Arsenal and scored two goals.
