ARSENAL are yet to open talks with Kieran Gibbs over extending his current deal at the Emirates.
The 27-year-old is one of several players who are in the final two years of their deals, whilst the club continue to haggle with stars Mesut Ozil and Alexis over new deals.
The academy graduate made his debut in 2009 and has clocked up 130 appearances for the Gunners making him one of the most experienced players in the current squad.
Gibbs, who has ten England caps, may become a target for other Premier League clubs as he has just 18 months remaining on his deal and rivals may begin to monitor his situation.
He may also choose to move away from the Emirates as he is yet to cement himself in the left back role - after years of competing with Spaniard Nacho Monreal.
Ozil and Sanchez continue to be the priority at Arsenal when it comes to contract negotiations after Wenger has admitted to being both 'niave' during the talks as well as confessing they could both leave.
