Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger feels the Gunners can be proud of what Kieran Gibbs achieved while at the club, while the Frenchman also admitted it will be strange to see the left-back on the opposing team when West Brom take on Arsenal.
The left-back swapped the red and white of Arsenal for the white and blue of West Brom in the summer.
And Monday will be the day when he will have the chance to return to his old club when the Baggies take on Wenger's team in a league match in the evening.
For the French manager it will be strange feeling to see one of his club's academy products play for a different club at the Emirates Stadium.
“It will strange to see him in a different shirt because he is a player who has been educated here from a very young age”, Wenger told his club's official website.
