Five Arsenal Stars With Something To Prove In 2014/15, Including £42.5m Record Signing Mesut Ozil

2) Kieran Gibbs

With Leighton Baines struggling at the World Cup, and Ashley Cole retiring from international duty, Gibbs has a good chance of forcing his way into the England squad if he can start the 2014/15 season well. First, he’ll need to continue to keep Nacho Monreal out of the side, and make sure he’s as defensively robust as he is promising going forward. If he can do this, he should be able to prove himself to Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson, with Euro 2016 in the distant horizon.
