SoccerBible Meets Kieran Gibbs - Football News

Tuesday saw the official unveiling of the new Nike Arsenal away strip for the 2013/14 season. After the big event which saw a huge banner featuring six of Arsenal's young English stars unveiled on the side of the Emirates, we sat down with Kieran Gibbs to talk about shirts, boots and the upcoming season.


After a stellar second half to last season that saw the Gunners rip a Champions League spot from the grasp of North London rivals Spurs on the last day, Nike and Arsenal have gone back to a yellow and blue away shirt to provide further motivation for their young side whilst out on the road.

 

Arsenal and England left back Kieran Gibbs is one player who hopes to do the shirt justice and follow in the footsteps of some of his footballing heroes that wore the famous colours. "Your Sol Campbell's, your Thiery Henry's, just real legends. You look at the guys and you remember how much you want to be like them, they're real winners."
 

With Ashley Cole in the twilight of his international career and Brazil 2014 just around the corner, a regular spot in the England squad is up for grabs. A strong campaign with Arsenal this season will surely cement the 23 year olds place and he is confident of his clubs chances. "We have to say we're confident, we gelled really well the last quarter of the season and if we continue that it's title winning form."



Kieran Gibbs wears the new Nike Arsenal Away Kit, set to debut on the club's Asia Tour. Fusing traditional club colours with contemporary style, the yellow shirt is synonymous with some of the club's greatest triumphs. The kit goes on sale on 31 July and is available to pre-order now from www.nike.com and  prodirectsoccer.com.
