Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the club will receive a major boost at the back due to the return of defender Kieran Gibbs.

Arsenal fans have been given a boost with the news that midfielder Jack Wilshere has returned from injury much earlier than expected.

The summer transfer window is upon us and as each day passes on, more and more rumors continue emerging involving the future of certain players and there is one player in specific which has continuously been linked with a move to Barcelona, that player is Aaron Ramsey.

Spanish full-back Nacho Monreal got a number of opportunities in the second half of last season owing to the injuries for first choice defender Kieran Gibbs.

Arsenal will be welcoming Chelsea to the Emirates stadium this weekend after having finally broken the stranglehold over the top teams.

After years of suffering in the big matches, Arsenal have had victories over Manchester United and Manchester City this season. Up until now, Arsenal have had only one way of playing even in the big matches.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is widely regarded as one of the best managers in the game, but the Frenchman lags behind the elite coaches in one regard; he has not won the Champions League yet in his career.

Despite being in Europe for almost 2 decades, Wenger has come close to winning the Champions League only ones. It was in 2006 when Arsenal lost in the final against Barcelona. Since then, Arsenal have actually regressed in this competition and they are on the verge of being knocked out of the last 16 stage once again.

Former Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer says that he is already seeing promising signs that Ipswich Town will be able to produce a number of high quality players in the next few years.

The Championship outfit have been attempting to return to the Premier League for a few seasons. Those attempts have not ended in success.

England boss Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs will be drafted into the starting line-up after Leighton Baines had to withdraw until late moment due to an injury.

After the retirement of Ashley Cole, Baines has been the preferred first choice for the England national team. Gibbs, though, has been trying to get a place in the team with some impressive performances for Arsenal. Despite being at the prime of his career, the 25-year-old has largely been playing second fiddle to the likes of Baines and Ashley Cole.

Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs says that he is extremely excited about the new Premier League season in which Arsenal go into the campaign with a lot of belief. The 24-year-old won his first major trophy with Arsenal after lifting the FA Cup in the summer. After adding the Community Shield a few weeks ago, there is a lot of belief that Arsenal can finally end the wait for a league title. The club last tasted success in the Premier League back in 2004 when they went through the entire season unbeaten.

It seems Yaya Toure would not stay at Etihad Stadium this summer. There have been reports of the player being desperate to part ways with City and his next destination might be France.

Toure was brilliant for Manchester City last season playing in the midfield in an attacking role. He had scored a lot of goals and made sure that the Sky Blues regained the league title which they had lost to United during the 2012-13 Season.

But, a few weeks ago, in one of his interviews, Toure had alleged City of not letting him visit his sibling who was at the last stage of his life.
