SILVA ISN’T GUNNER PAY £15M FOR GIBBS

JERMAIN DEFOE HAS ACTIVATED A CLAUSE IN HIS CONTRACT WITH SUNDERLAND TO SIGN A THREEYEAR DEAL WITH BOURNEMOUTH

MARCO SILVA is determined to sign Kieran Gibbs.

The new Watford boss has the Arsenal left-back (above), 27, among his top targets as he bids to reshape his Hornets squad. However Watford are not willing to meet the £15million price tag with just a year left on Gibbs’ deal. Brighton and Stoke are also keen, but the Gunners may have to lower their asking price.
